You get what you pay for. This is a bare bones lodging experience. If you're just looking for a safe and comfortable place to sleep overnight, without any frills whatsoever (not even a tiny coffee maker), then this is the place for you.

Functional, but not much more

The bed was comfortable enough and the room was clean, but the frame around the mirror was broken and some panels on the air conditioner appeared loose. The carpet in the hall was stained and there was an odd smell. To top it all off, the ice maker was not working.

Stayed for one night. Hotel is ok if you just need a place to sleep. Otherwise do not recommend. Ice machines also didn’t work. Stayed in the non smoking room but you can smell smoke in the hall way.
