Horrible! First the property shook me down for another $50.00 AFTER I had it paid for on Expedia. (Call me, I'll give you the details). The hotel had homeless people walking around it. The doorknob literally fell off from the inside of the door, I repaired it the best I could so we could exit quickly in an emergency. At night there was a strange noise coming from inside the wall in front of the bed. We couldn't decide if something was walking around in the wall or if it was something else. Nothing would have surprised me. STAY HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

My bed had bugs, there was no light at the sink, hair dryer not working and the smell of the room. I always bring an air freshner which I seldom use and I use it that night and morning. The people working there were nice. They move us to a different room the next day. Better but the toilet flush was not working but they did fix it. It was just an inconvenience for a short stay. I am not expecting to be a 5 star. Just need a place to sleep without hassle.

Appeared old but clean at first. Discovered poor flooring in bathrom was from moisture from unknown source, ceiling tile loose, heat/ac unit not working, afraid to use. Definitely not the pictures shown online . Beds adequate. Made the best of it because we were tired , would not recommend.
