Its Okay.

Well, its not in the best condition on the outside. the area looked a little sketchy, but it was quiet. Clearly, they are renovating so the lobby was used as storage area for new refrigerators and microwaves. the first thing we were greeted to was a man lying on the ground outside of a vehicle, apparently so drunk he had passed out right there in the parking lot. The driver was also very intoxicated. There was another person sleeping in a car in a car in the parking lot. The room was comfortable. The bed was great and super comfy. Rooms look redone. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

Clean budget motel

It was clean and fine to sleep, but it smelled way too much like cleaner or air freshener. I had a headache. Other that that, it was what I expected.

Here’s the revised review: I had an extremely disappointing stay at this hotel. I specifically booked a room with two beds, as we were two people traveling together. However, upon check-in, we were given a room with only one bed. When we raised this issue with the front desk, they reassigned us to another room, but the new room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, which made it impossible to stay in. After returning to the front desk yet again, we were told there were no other rooms with two beds available. In the end, we were forced to stay in a single-bed room, which meant one of us had no proper place to rest. This completely ruined our stay. The lack of attention to detail, poor room conditions, and inability to resolve our problem were unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience.
