Finally found a place with a mini frig/freezer. We travel with a cooler to minimize food stops and usually lose the freezer pack after day 1. Beds comfortable, place was clean. According to some locals it is in a good part of town. Would definitely stay there again.

No Bubble Baths Here!!! 😩

I had to pay 20 cash to get early check in. When sitting on toilet in restroom I noticed all the dirt built up behind door. The bathtub was filthy. Looked like it never got scrubbed to clean. Only rinsed out with water. Alot of people's scum built up!!! Sink had long black curly hairs wrapped around tray that water cups say on. Mirror and lights full of dirt and dust. Carpet had debris on it. I rented room so I could relax in a bathtub. Instead I went home to get cleaning supplies so I could clean the room properly the way it should of been cleaned. And after a hour of scrubbing the tub, I was ready to relax in nice bath but had to way to plug the tub. Overall it sucked as far as cleanliness went.

Decent rooms, terrible everything else

Staying out there a couple nights a week for work. Seemed decent for the first couple weeks until. They started putting me on the third floor. It stinks like nasty food up there, people cooking with their doors wide open, loud drunk people yelling and partying and slamming doors all night long multiple nights, One night I got a room that everything was unplugged and I had to move the furniture out from the wall to plug in my TV microwave, and fridge…Last straw was when I stepped on a sewing needle laying on the floor in my room this morning. I’ll pay the extra money and stay at my place extended stay. Not coming back.

My husband stayed here for a trip to watch our daughter wrestle. He said the first day he found it odd that most of the doors on one floor were open, while the rooms were clearly occupied. The second night there were several hispanic people up banging on doors and talking very loudly at 3 am. I am not sure what in the cartel is going on at this place but knowing what we know now, we will not recommend or stay again. He did say the room was clean but the breakfast was very disappointing.

We liked everything about this hotel except they need to focus on cleaning. We had trash under the bed and old used soap in the shower. There were hairs on the bedding and pillows. Other than that the place was exactly what we needed for the weekend.
