Okay for one short night

We got in late, after midnight. At check-in, he claimed I had no reservation. I had to pull up the confirmation online to show him. Was given 2 double beds instead of the king bed I reserved. Plus we had to walk up stairs to get to our room. The toilet ran every 7 minutes. Loud music thumping in the parking lot. We could smell weed. Not the best area of town. Room seemed mostly clean. I checked for bed bugs and didn’t see any. We were so tired we didn’t have it in us to ask for another room. Breakfast was very meager. They had waffles and bread for toast but no butter. Powdery lukewarm eggs. Cereal. Overall, just meh. We didn’t die. It was an okay bed for the one night we slept there. But again, we were VERY tired! We were awake in the room for less than an hour the whole time.

Reasonably priced but you get what you pay for. Mattress placed on top of some sort of hollow metal boxes so you wake up any time you turn in your sleep. Other than that it’s Ok if you want a quick stay that’s close to a highway.

The bed in the room was sooooo comfortable. We were not expecting to have to pay a $100 deposit tho. I had to dig thru the hotel info on expedia and read some seriously fine print about the deposit. It should be listed at the beginning of the reservation so the people can expect it. Other than that, i was blown away by how clean, spacious, and comfortable the room was.

I had a 12pm check out and someone tried to come into my room without knocking at 10am. The again but with knocking at 11:20am. I killed 5 baby roaches in the room. Im staying in the area for work and the internet wasn't good. Also there was people walking from a hotel behind this one on drugs. They looked like zombies. A man with no shirt on was fighting the air and someone was shot on the corner.
