If you just need a place to sleep for the night then this is a good value. Best to expect no amenities (e.g., TV reception isn’t good for most channels, key card only works for your door - side entrances are all disabled), no breakfast, smoky smell near main entrance because that’s where they keep ash canister (it’s way too close to front door) One plus is the parking lot just got re-paved

This hotel has bad ratings. But the room was actually quite nice. Just outdated. It was clean and smelled good. I've stayed in a lot of cheap hotels and beggars can't be choosers. For as cheap as it was to stay here. It's a great place. That's why I'm trying to give it five stars. Well worth the money.

There is no elevator at the property. Stairwells are filthy. Room is very basic which was expected. Bathrooms need major maintenance. Was the only option left for reunion weekend. Staff was nice but they don’t have much to work with I think.

The AC/HEAT unit sounded like a jet engine. The room was hot when I arrived. The cove base was missing or coming off the wall in several places. The door hardware was very loose and I’m sure the room I was in could be broken into very easily. The tv didn’t work properly. The parking area was in dire need of repair. There was no included breakfast
