You get what you pay for. This is a motel in the bad part of town. My boyfriend and I just needed somewhere cheap to sleep for a couple of nights while we were in town for a concert. The staff were friendly, but as soon as we walked in our non-smoking room, we were hit with the stench of smoke. The bed was a spring and not very comfortable. We inspected for bugs and didn’t see any. The sheets and towels were clean. The room was clean, but run-down. The paint on the walls is chipping and the tub definitely needed to be replaced. There was only one nightstand for the bed and it was in rough shape. No lamps. It did have a nice sink vanity which was nice to do makeup at. The walls are very thin and the people next to us had kids that were screaming at all hours of the day. It is a pretty sketchy motel, but our car didn’t get broken into and we generally felt safe while we were in the room. I personally probably would not stay again, but if you’re in a pinch and you need somewhere to sleep, it’s ok. I definitely would not have stayed here by myself if my boyfriend was not with me.

It is a disgrace that Expedia lists this property. The bed had bugs (not bed bugs) more like silverfish. The toilet leaked and overall felt unsafe. This place is just nasty, feels more like a by the hour place. There was even a $5 deposit for what I have no idea. The staff could not articulate what it was for. JUST NASTY
