I have stayed in a lot worse. The room was clean. The refrigerator worked even though it was wobbly the microwave worked good. Over all we would stay there again. The service was very good. It is an older building so you get what you pay for., it is close to the airport so yes jets fly over low all night long.the parking lot was clean and i didn't see anyone loitering around.

They have a well lit parking lot, which is good for the prostitution industry which thrives there. If your sink happens to be stopped up, the desk attendant will hook you up with a plunger but the rest is up to you. The bed was decent but the room always felt a bit too moist, unless you cranked the A/C to 68 degrees. Never felt unsafe, but definitely wouldn't recommend.

I had the absolute worst hotel experience here! The staff was incredibly rude during check-in, and they were unaccommodating regarding our reservation, giving us the wrong room type and attempting to charge extra fees to my card. The rooms were in the worst possible condition: dirty, damaged, smelled horrible, and were generally unacceptable. We canceled our reservation and checked out literally 20 minutes after checking in. The only positive was that the manager contacted me the next day to apologize and confirmed I would receive a full refund. I strongly recommend removing this hotel from your website so no one else has to go through a similar terrible experience.

First we started in room 305 the air didn't work. The guy at the front desk claimed to fix it and said we could change rooms in the morning. The other room we rented for our daughter had a guy with a backpack every morning and night knocking on the door. All the doors on the 3rd floor. The location is convenient and the staff are nice but stay at your own risk.

Room had stains on walls, carpet had water damage and the rooms smelled awful. Police arrived late saturday night to break up a party, which was very disrupting. The neighborhood was overrun by homeless and drug addicts asking for money. I would rather sleep in my car at a rest stop than stay here again.
