The pictures looked ok enough online, but PLEASE do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

Room was dirty. We just wanted a place that was clean to be able to sleep and shower. There was crud on the floor of the shower, the sheets were gross, the toilet paper roll was broken, the drain in the sink was clogged, there were cigarette holes in one of the blankets, and the thermostat couldn't be adjusted. We ended up buying a fan and new sheets to get through one of the two nights we booked. We decided to go back home early rather stay the second night.

None smoking room smelled heavily smoked. A lot Cigarette holes on the covered sheets. Stains on all pillows, blankets and bedsheets. Bathtub had very huge gross stains on it. We didn’t dare to take a shower even we had a flip flop on. A left over cup in the fridge. I wonder if bedsheets and blankets ever washed. And the room gives you free pet Kroaches.

In general, it was very rundown. The front of one of the drawers in the room was not there. There were tiny flies in the sink. The smoke/fire detector was hanging by its wires from the ceiling with no battery. In general, the total disarray made me very uncomfortable.

Smokey Room with Cigarette Stains on Linens

If you are looking for a cheap hotel and you don't care about the smell of cigarettes, this one is for you. The room is dated, makeshift and the bed is not on a frame. The linens had cigarette burn stains on them. It is more like a smoky camping experience than a hotel stay.

Came back from a long day. Around 9pm. Use the microwave, then all the power went out. Went to front desk and told them about the power outage in my room. They said there's nothing they can do about it. Ate in The dark with my phone light.
