Stayed in 110 and the room was cute and fairly spacious! Wished there was a coffee pot in the room but I was ok without that. Bathroom is super spacious and nice. The heater was pretty loud and made it a tad hard to sleep. There were also funky people yelling outside at 3am but otherwise, everything I needed was provided and the front desk guy was cool.

I didn't expect much for the low room rate, but I can't stay there again. The room smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I woke up feeling sick from breathing it all night. One pillow felt very lumpy so I peeked under the pillow case and saw it was completely stained yellow.

The staff were really nice. The property is run down but the beds were comfy. The drains in the sink and shower were slow. The shower curtain and towels and linens were all in their last legs. They allow transport trucks to park overnight in the parking lot in front of the rooms and they were loudly idling all night long. You can clearly hear all the traffic and people going by. The outside lights were bright and came through the curtains. They offered breakfast just note it’s really sugary and carb loaded. Waffles, cereal/instant oatmeal packs, breads and donuts, and some yogurt. If you need a cheap place to sleep and you’re exhausted, it’ll do the trick.
