The staff and the front desk was amazing. However, the hotel itself was so disappointing. It was dirty. There was roaches in the room. The bed had stained the chairs and the tables. It was absolutely disgusting. The only reason I gave this place to two star was because the staffing was amazing.

This place was ok, it smelled like pot whenever we opened the door and we don’t smoke. There were 2 large roaches that appeared on the 2nd night and the bed made noises. I would most likely not stay there again.

Best thing about this room is the bed was super, super comfortable. If you just need a place to catch some Zzzz's when you are on the road, then this is a great value for a low price. Place may be less safe then others in the area because room axcess is NOT from an interior corridor. This is a very old, drafty building that has had a cosmetic remodel. New fixtures, new floor tile, and a new coat of paint. But the floor was noteably uneven, with a big sag in the middle. New improvements are already showing wear. Room was provided with 2 thread bare towels. Over all, a great value, but not someplace i would choose for a longer stay.

Horrible . Switched to 3 different rooms because they were nasty. Pillows covered in mold and told they didn’t have any to change. I mopped the floor with their towels because it was disgusting! The towels were black after. Will never stay again .
