The room with clean, the hotel itself was clean. The staff was excellent, friendly and professional. The only problem was our room did not have hot water. The front desk tried to move us to a new room, but the keys didn't work so we ended up having cold showers the whole weekend. We are planning on staying again next weekend. Hopefully it's better

Absolutely horrible. Disgusting dangerous area. Disgusting dirty hotel. air smelt room locks were broken room was dirty. I was there for 20min trying to get my door to open but the lock the broken so i couldn’t get it and by the time i went to ask for a refund they told me my 15min was up and im past the time for a refund. I barely got a chance to go inside my new room before the time was up. Did not stay there more than 45 min IMMEDIATELY left. Stay FAR FAR FAR away from this place unless you want your car broke into or bed bugs.

Arrived forth floor smelled of a gas leak paid for an upgraded room, got moved to the second floor into an upgraded room. Tub didn’t drain, tv wouldn’t work, phone didn’t work, had nasty stuff all over my headboard. Was very dirty. I would love a refund at least since I had to stay on the unupgraded room that I paid for in the first place.

It was a pleasant stay. There were a couple things I didn't like. The bathroom light on a timer and wifi. Seems if the sensor on the switch didn't see movement for a couple minutes the light would turn off. Couldn't find a way to adjust the light for a longer duration. Also, weak wifi signal in the room, ended up using my phone as a hotspot for the laptop.

This hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside and it’s located in a not-so-great area, so we weren’t sure what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised once we stepped into the lobby it’s much nicer and bigger inside than it appears from the outside! The hotel itself is quite large, and while the rooms are definitely older and a bit outdated, our stay was still very comfortable. The beds were amazing super cozy and made for a great night’s sleep. Overall, not a bad stay at all, and we’ll definitely be booking again.

When I arrived, the customer service at the desk was wonderful, but, there were several problems in the room... When I got to the room, there was black specks on the covers on the beds, ants or small roaches at the coffee maker, and the housekeeping did not provide us with small bars of soap (like other hotels/motels provide).

Air conditioner in my initial room was bad and I had to get another room. The other room had dead roaches in front of the TV and I can’t help but wonder how that could be missed! Sorry, but that’s not a good experience. I know I was trying to keep it cheap, but not that cheap.
