This hotel was a nightmare. The bed sheets were stained, the chair was filthy with a dead fly on it, and the whole room felt dirty and neglected. The environment felt unsafe and more like a homeless shelter than a hotel. I checked out immediately and would never recommend this place to anyone.

This is a good stay for the price. I stay here during the work week. So, a fridge and microwave in the room is perfect. Close to fast food and a Walmart Super Store. I get my grocery shopping for the week on Monday after work.
