Heat was slow to warm up the room, and when I left it was tough to close and lock the door. Staff was friendly and accommodating, but the room could use a facelift.

We needed a last-minute spot to sleep for our date night at the casino. This wasn't far from the casino & close to a few prime spots! The front desk was nice & the room was decent but the hotel smelled like weed, really, really strong. No plug-in outlets around the beds. We booked a queen bed, not a double & when we got there, they were out of queens (we booked about 4 hours before showing up) & we got "upgraded" to double queen beds, which were 2 doubles, smaller than we'd like as a couple.

Good Value.

It's setup for affordable long stays ( no breakfast), but it's fine. A biit worn, but real clean... so fine for the price. I stayed for 1 night and it was good.
