The room isn’t bad. We had ants in the restroom. The area isn’t the best two of the three nights that we stay police activity on the side of the hotel with the house people. Make sure for breakfast on the weekend you have enough and sufficient time to wait the person making the waffles are always super nice super kind but it’s busy and you only have one person passing out breakfast and making waffles so Overall just have the time to wait in a very small breakfast area very limited on seating.

Review: Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations. I appreciated the kindness of the staff who allowed me to check in a few minutes early, which was a nice touch. However, that was about the only positive aspect of my stay. The parking lot was in poor condition, being uneven and cracked, which made it difficult to navigate. Upon entering the hotel, I noticed the common areas had bars on the windows and signs warning guests to close doors behind them, which created a sense of unease. The surrounding area felt run-down and was filled with transient people, contributing to an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. Additionally, ongoing construction made it hard to get in and out of the hotel, further detracting from my experience. For the price I paid, I had much higher hopes, but the quality felt more in line with a $60-a-night room. The overall environment was quite shabby, with rooms that were poorly maintained. I could hear everything from outside, and the walls showed signs of inadequate patchwork. Cracked tiles and cheap repairs were evident, and the beds were squeaky and felt low-budget. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel. It felt very similar to a Motel 6 in quality, with a parking lot filled with abandoned vehicles and people living in them. For the price, I expected much better and would not stay here again.

Pay the $100 extra to stay somewhere else

Room was clean on the inside aside from the occasional ant or wall stain. Breakfast was free, for a reason. It tasted like cardboard. Staff kept to themselves. The parking lot looked like it hosted several drug deals, I may have witnessed one. Stayed on the 3rd floor, nothing but stairs. Glad all I did was sleep. Sketchy upscale motel, at best.

The staff at check in was not very friendly, the area around the hotel was not very nice, lots of homeless hanging out in the parking lot at all hours of the day and night, and our room didn't get cleaned one of the days. When we went to the front to ask for more towels we were told house keeping wasn't available and they found ONE towel to give us. Overall, would not recommend this hotel.
