Disliked: Amenities
It’s a $60 per night room, so have to consider what you’re paying for. The vicinity felt very sketchy, with limited places to eat (Burger King). The hotel is not in a good location in general, and the lack of signage was unacceptable. Without a GPS, you will struggle. I give it an overall grade of a ‘C’.

Parking is ample but very dark. Almost no lights, which made it feel very sketchy. As you open the door, there is a distinctive smell, and the hallway reeks cigarette smell. Because there is a bit of a gap with the door, you can smell the cigarette smell when you are going to sleep. I also found spiders in my room. As one can tell, I did not have a great experience in this hotel.

Check in was sloppy. The room is quite dated and the bed was HORRIBLE. There was virtually no hot water - tepid at best. The heat/AC has not been cleaned in a very long time leaving a stale smell and incredibly dirty vents for the fan to blow all around. The parking was free and plentiful.

Everything was way below expectations. Hotel manager didn’t have any tolerance for trivial requests. They’ll give a feeling you’re not welcomed at all. Never again at this old aging property that’s falling apart.

Not bad. Good value for economy travelers. I'm sure it was fabulous 40 years ago, now it's just a quiet, clean, but antiquated place to rest at night. Coffee and vending machines inside, dollar store and useful bus stop down the block.
