Okay for a one-night stay, but I wouldn’t recommend for longer. The property feels very dated and the surrounding area seemed quiet and somewhat abandoned. The room lacked basic amenities like a microwave and fridge, and the bed was not very comfortable. While the entry door and bathroom looked decent, there were noticeable stains throughout the room, which affected the overall cleanliness impression.

Minimal interaction with staff. They were fine. The room was gross and dingy, sheets were stained and the bedspread had holes in it. No refrigerator or microwave. No bedside lamps. I’m nly bright sterile overhead light. No place to hang clothes. The pillows were like dried buttermilk biscuit crumbles stuffed in a pillow case. I highly DON’T recommend this hotel.

The staff is extremely rude cussing people out calling people names threatening to kick you out before you even checked into your room the walls are disgusting the floors are disgusting the beds are inadequate the pillows are from 1920s they give you one town no matter how many people are in each room they open your door and walk in without announcing themselves and for whatever reason they deem necessary they charge different prices for different people at different times makes no sense how can a deposit be $20 one day and $40 the next day doesn't make any sense to me the worst experience I've had at a hotel in my entire life and I highly recommend to stay the f*** away from it
