Not for half the price

I was there for 3 nights. Not once was any maid or housekeeping service performed. I had to go to the office myself to request more towels and then I was given 1 towel. No more hand towels or anything else. The bathroom tile was in deplorable shape, with visible black mold. I was also told when I checked in that because I was there by myself, I shouldn’t mess up the other bed, Overall I would give it one quarter of one star because it had running water and a locking door. Otherwise I would avoid this place and if you do stay there I would recommend bringing a firearm.

I stayed in this fleabag several years ago and was horrified when I drove up and realized it was the same place. Thinnest towels I’ve ever scene, splotches on the floor and night stand, badly caulked bathtub. No bugs at least, but I hope I never end up here again

Perfect for a working man

First impression seemed kinda sketchy just looking at the building at night. Walked in front desk lady was extremely welcoming and friendly. Booked me in right away, 2 minutes tops. Room was kinda ran down but i think the price was fair. Everything worked the tub was kinda clogged and walls were thin. Seen a couple roaches but everything seemed clean except the walls.

The overall appearance was run down. The room I stayed in smelled. Air conditioning grills were dirty. Wall, doors, and furniture were smudged with dirt and grease.
