Adequate One Night Stay
Stopped in for a one night stay to rest a few hours on a cross country road trip. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room is best described as "adequate" .. it fits the price tag. The beds were comfy, the rooms looked clean, and the TV was nice. No amenities, no frills.. just a bed to sleep in for an affordable price. My one complaint was the noise ... the walls are quite thin and people were slamming the doors all night do I did not get much sleep unfortunately :(

This place was ok, it smelled like pot whenever we opened the door and we don’t smoke. There were 2 large roaches that appeared on the 2nd night and the bed made noises. I would most likely not stay there again.

Bad hotel in an otherwise nice location
Except for one nice older lady, the staff looked like ex-convicts, yet ran the place like a prison (surly, rude to guests). The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night (1am) and when we finally got to go back to our rooms because it was a false alarm, the fire department showed up with sirens blaring. I was propositioned in the lobby while waiting out the alarm. Based on the reaction of the staff, all of this seems to be a regular occurrence. The guest wifi did NOT work.
At least there were nice places within walking distance.

Weather stripping missing from bottom of door so water bugs and roaches came and went as they pleased. Also, the fridge never worked so all the food we had bought had to ultimately be thrown out due to the fact we had no way to keep it at temperature. When we notified the front desk about the issue we were informed they wouldn’t be able to fix it until the maintenance man arrived the next day

Nasty
Horrible . Switched to 3 different rooms because they were nasty.
Pillows covered in mold and told they didn’t have any to change.
I mopped the floor with their towels because it was disgusting! The towels were black after.
Will never stay again .

I needed a room for the night. Good in a pinch. My wife would not be happy staying here if she were with me, but she’s not so all I needed was a bed and a heater.
