This is s 2 star motel/hotel. Not someplace I would stay more than a night, and definitely not a place I would "hang out" at. Its more motel than hotel. Its a place I would crash on a road trip. Rooms are clean but very basic. Laminate flooring so no carpet which can be a good thing. Frig, microwave, and small single-serv coffee machine. Again, its 2 star. Bed is fine. AC worked. Lobby and "breakfast" are all in one place. Breakfast is very, very limited. Toast, frozen waffles, packaged danishes, cereal, hard boil eggs, coffee, tea and juice. No fruit, no oatmeal, no bagels, no eggs or meats and not muffins. Poor. I guess you get what you pay for. I wouldn't vacation there, just a night to crash. Lastly, neighborhood is sketchy. Dennys and Starbucks in the same parking lot.

I spilled water from my water bottle and cleaned it up with a towel from the bathroom. The towel was filthy, the floors in our room were absolutely disgusting. When I told the front desk this, she said ow well they may charge you for that towel. Mind blowing, just mind blowing; your floor were filthy and me using a towel to clean up clear liquid, the same liquid the towels is made for I. The bathroom and you could care less about how gross your room is and just about your towel. Do not stay here! Horribly dirty, unsafe areas, staff is just totally unbelievable.

Over all it was ok. Our tv never worked they tried to fix it but signal kept going out. Room 226. Then the thing that threw me off the most is the free breakfast wasn’t a hot breakfast. They do have boiled eggs, toast, two types of cereals, milk, hot tea and coffee and some pastries but I was hoping it was one with eggs and sausage. Room was very clean and comfortable and Yisinia the maid was stellar. She was awesome!
