Bottom floor was under construction so i couldn't get a first floor room. I have a bad knee so going up and down the stairs was terrible for me. ( no elevator) i got there a hour early and was charged a $10 early checkin fee. Never happen to me before in my life and ive probably stayed at over 200 hotels.

Renovations were being completed so going to give grace. No mirror in the room but added when we asked for one. Not many plugs in the room to charge devices, we ended up having to unplug the tv and microwave so items could be charged. It was good for what you pay for. Due to the renovations the floors were pretty dirty so we ended up wearing shoes/at least socks the good majority. It was a place to sleep for the night.

The staff was courteous and helpful. However, the floor was dusty and needed mopping. There were 2 mice droppings between the beds. The washcloth and towels were washed but not white. A cigarette butt was lying in the windowsill, even though the sign on the door said, "No smoking."

The room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. It was almost unbearable but since I was only staying for one night in dealt with it. The bed had stains on the sheets as if someone laid down in the sheets with their shoes on. The room was very inexpensive and you get what you pay for especially given the area.
