Room was clean but there were visible scuffs on the wall and the towel rack was loose. Shower curtain was just slightly too short so water would get out on the bathroom floor when I showered. I stayed 3 nights and the trash was never collected from my room. I put it out in the hallway and it stayed there for two days until I checked out and I have no idea if they got it. I noticed a broken glass in the stairwell and the trash can outside the far entrance was overflowing. I would Not stay here again!

Disliked: Amenities
We were glad that we got a really great deal. It’s a different feel than your typical hotel. The room itself was clean there was lady bugs in it but that didn’t bother us. The hallways were pretty dirty though. It’s a really new place but Seems like it’ is quickly being run down and things like the walls are quickly becoming beat up. Pretty sad

Kris

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was nice and the facility should be ideal. That said, the fitted sheet on the bed had a 10-12” tear that just could not be missed when the bed was made up. The mattress is well beyond any reasonable expectation of life span. More of a half-pipe than a mattress at this point. The foldout bed should be registered as a torture device. That thing is one car battery short of being a mob movie set piece. The hotel is cheap…still not a good deal in my mind. No one getting any sleep does not make for the best road trip. DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE BACK!
This is what we found when we pulled the sheet back to go to bed.
