Beds were alright, no refrigerator. Building is very run down, rooms aren’t too much better, I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter it was just all around an uncomfortable stay. On the plus side Rooms were generally clean not perfect but not filthy and didn’t smell too weird so that was a plus lol

Where do we start? At check-in I was surrounded by a couple of meth heads in the teeny tiny front desk area. I felt as though I had to keep looking over my shoulder as I unloaded my vehicle to go to my room. There were multiple rodent traps surrounding the property. The exterior of the property was very rundown and a very bad look for this chain. And apparently they offer month-to-month rentals, which was disheartening to learn because the people who occupied those rooms were shady characters to say the least! The room was nicely updated, but the shower itself was a joke! It smelled of a sweaty locker room and the shower head was mounted to the outer rim of the shower stall? This was a first to see? And it was a shotty job at that! Will never stay here again! Disgusting!

Not so good.

For starters our door knob wouldnt even stay on! Crackheads everywhere, the hotel doesnt even offer or HAVE little shampoos and conditioners on the property, my kids got to witness their first dead person (overdose in the hotel), nobody cleaned our room, or even got our trash from in front of our door. Not to mention for all the above stuff mentioned the price was outrageous! Over $130 a night! Only good thing was they are pet friendly.

DISGUSTING DONT STAY HERE!!!!!

The place was absolutely disgusting with stains all over the bed, disgusting toilet and shower, many cigarette/burn holes in all the blankets, many sketchy people around which made us uncomfortable. We ended up not even staying the night and left halfway through our one night stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Good for one night

The place looked like it was falling apart a bit. There was multiple occasions where people where banging on our door, just for them to leave as soon as I open the door. When we were leaving we saw a big roach on the wall
