The room smell like cigarettes the toilet was loose. You couldn’t even sit on it. There was no remote control it. The mirrors weren’t even clean right the curtains were hanging. Didn’t stay more than an hour and I left. I went to a better location and comfortable I do not recommend this location unless you are a drug user drug seller or hooker because that’s what the hotels about.

In a pinch.

There was a drifter harassing people in the parking lot. Then he kept following people back and forth. Running around the place. Unsettling. He saw me and got spooked cuz I saw a girl he was trying to get in her car. So I went to pretend I was her boyfriend. He left her alone. Room was decent. Bathroom was dirty. Mainly the sink and under toilet lid. Ladies have pepper spray or don’t go alone.

No trash bin in room. No smoke detectors. Bathroom door lock was broken. Fridge was leaking. No microwave. Place is a dump. One of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. Walls were damaged and very poorly repaired. No room cleaning services so we didn’t get fresh towels or sheets. I would highly recommend not staying here.
