How could this place get an 8+ rating? Someone had taken a #2 in the toilet that was barely flushed. No breakfast (night duty didn't put it out, and no milk?!), people who are scary living in the rooms full time. Never again. They take a $100 deposit. will I get it back?

Don’t trust the pictures

The pictures don’t match the actually condition of the hotel. Looks like they took pictures when it first opened or shortly after.. Room is decent not horrible. But the rooms are musty even in the non smoking room. You can hear everything around you because of the doors being beat up and having cracks,, overall it’s not bad for the price but don’t be expecting it to look like the pictures..

The pictures are definitely not what the full property looks like. It’s in a very sketchy area that did not feel completely safe. On top of that our balcony door was left slightly open which added to the feeling of being unsafe. It wasn’t dirty but didn’t exactly feel clean. People were in and out of the building at all hours and the door to the outside was loud when closing. I wouldn’t recommend staying here overall until some of the construction is cleared up and some more upgrades have been done to rooms. The staff was very nice so that’s a plus.

The door to my room looked like it had been broken into before and seemed very insecure. Breakfast was very disappointing in that all that was available was: coffee, waffles and toast. No jelly, no cream for the coffee, no milk to drink with the waffle, no knives to cut the waffle, no other food choices. The desk clerk said the owner was in Las Vegas at a conference and hadn't ordered enough breakfast supplies.

The price is good. Contonential seemed lacking. Microwave wasn't working properly. My door wasn't secure. The striker plate which holds it shut was missing. The only thing keeping it closed was the trim of the frame. I'd reported it and even have pictures but nothing was done to secure my room.
