Try somewhere else

Well, the bed was broken down. Two small flat pillows. No coffee. Microwave blows the breaker at 45 seconds. Broken missing lights in hallway and room. Large room with spartan furniture. Desk help wasn't sure where the room was in the building. Mostly rent by week or month clientele with six broken down cars in the parking lot...

Decent and basic

Nice person at the desk. The room was very clean and sufficient for one night and a good night’s sleep. The lights between the beds didn’t work. Also, the microwave didn’t work.

Disliked: Amenities
Needs a lot of work under new owner, is evidence of it being done. Beds are quite hard. In an effort to impress, room had a bed high enough 4 8ft man, then offered step stool. Reason: it was "1 of the nicer rooms." The microwave > wattage, short out whole room. Switch 2 reg room, smaller, no discount . Staff very friendly and helpful.
