The room was very clean and didn't feel old like the rest of the hotel like the lobby and the elevators. The price was very affordable. The breakfast was slices of bread or frozen eggos that you could toast, or cold cereal. It was kind of pathetic. But we only stayed one night so for the money and the clean room, I think I would stay here again if I was in the area again.

The hotel was fine but the neighborhood is terrible. I pulled in late and found a person parked in the lot trying to get my attention by saying violent murmurs. So strange how you can find drunk people walking around on the street in front at any hour. The majority of non chain restaurants are cash only. All pointing to a different town for me on my next trip.
