The property is extremely outdated. The photos we saw vs the room we got were completely different. The room was labeled nonsmoking but it smells like it had been smoked in for 20 years. There was mold on the ceiling in the shower area. I planned to stay longer but I woke up so sick I left early. The only good thing was the price and it was in a very convenient area. Housekeeping was very nice and I could tell they were doing the best they could with what they had to work with.

You definitely get what you pay for. Not very clean, bed is comfortable & the location is convenient. Pretty great for if you’re just stopping by in town but not amazing quality. Staff was pretty nice & reasonably priced for what you get

Value motel

It’s the cheapest hotel in central location so for the price it’s hard to go wrong. Big comfy bed, great free wifi, fridge/microwave, even a really convenient dressing table and table+chair for two people. The only real issue we found was a nasty smell in the rooms and the bathrooms are pretty gross - but minor issues for the price.

It was an average low budget hotel but had clean rooms and friendly staff. There was a lot of blight and homeless in the area but was close to entertainment and food options.
