This place doesn't even deserve one star. Hotel is...

This place doesn't even deserve one star. Hotel is in a shady area and cops are circling nonstop. Despite the presence of the police you will still witness people doing drugs/dealing directly in front of hotel. Even witnessed someone spray painting the back employee door. Once we were inside the hotel and went up to the 5th floor we could clearly tell everything was outdated. Opening the door to our room we were immediately hit with a moldy/mildew smell. The floor was wet in some spots and we found animal feces in the hotel. Everything was very dirty as well. We couldn't find anyone at the front desk after checking in (we checked in late at night) or even when checking out. It was a horrible experience. We only slept for a couple hours due to exhaustion from driving for 15 hrs. It was also freezing inside the room, and messing with the heater didn't help. You could hear people talking outside even from the 5th floor. We left very early in the morning due to how uncomfortable/unsafe we all felt. The room was only $40 a night so I'm not sure we should have expected too much.
