As cheap hotels go, it was solid. Got a room for the college world series. Beds were comfy, shower was hot, room was clean. My only complaint is that the rooms were very very hot even with the AC on full blast the whole time.

Property is in poor condition! The first room we were put in the air conditioner blew out hot air and the shelf was falling off the wall. We ere moved and that was better. The parking are is very poor and the breakfast was bad, we grabbed a banana and it was bruised and rotten. We definitely would not stay there again

The hotel overall was clean and had everything you needed. However, carpet was dirty and comforter stained. Worse of all bed and pillows were hard as rocks. I would still recommend to people on a budget.
