I liked that the front staff made sure that check in process quick and efficient. No issues. If anyone is arriving after 11pm and need to find parking in a garage, good luck. All the nearby lots closed by 10pm.

This hotel was decent for what it was... I must say that the carpet does give off a smell like it needs to be cleaned and the circulation through the hotel is minimal but other than that the staff was nice the space was decent and it was good for the 2 days I needed it for.

Nice and quiet inside, safe. Locked and watched front door. Very loud outside all night but we expected most of it, no a/c so open window hear all- try just bathroom window and get fan as close to drown out. No space no table or counter, so tight if 3 people (2a 1k). Buy cold brew for frig cause no microwave. No wash cloths - so pack em. We are not the stay in room type and out 5-7am each day and it was great for that and we would stay again

When we arrived to check in the front door was locked and no staff was at the front desk. We had to sit parked on the busy street for 15 minutes trying to call and wait for someone to come back. Once we checked in our toilet didn’t work. It never worked during our one night stay and someone came to plunge it but said it wouldn’t unclog and never came back or offered another solution. We left and had to find a toilet for our kids to use. We would not recommend this property unless your standards are very low.
