Very run down on very busy road which is almost impossible to cross without walking way out of the way to a stoplight. Long walk to restaurants. Congested and poorly planned area. Only one desk chair in room, so no where to lounge in room. Bed was clean and comfortable

The room and property was great. But the TV didn't work and the staff was very unhelpful. Let me do my laundry and get all of my clothes washed and wet and then told me the dryer was broken, after making me pay $4 to use the dryer. Then told me, oh well when I was stuck with wet clothes. Finally told my husband he could use their dryer. Just terrible! Also said she would have someone do something about the TV and then never did.

Check in and out was fairly easy. Room had a mini fridge w/ freezer and microwave, which was nice. Our toilet stopped flushing at some point between the night and morning. Seemed to work fine when we got there and then just didnt. Seemed clean enough, although the heat/air units could probably use a cleaning or new filter. Overall was pretty decent for the price.
