This property is disgusting. I wish i could post photos of the dirty sheets, half used toiletries, broken AC, broken door handles, and the homeless encampment inside the parking lot. I do not recommend. Do not stay here no matter how nice the price looks.

I didn’t like the reservation person that worked the maybe 4pm-11pm shift. Asked to many questions regarding my check-in. Plus have to go get key from reception window as card reader in my room didn’t work.

Disliked: Amenities
The first thing we noticed was a roach crawling up a wall. There was no rod in the closet to hang our clothes. We had to hang out clothes in the bathroom. The mattresses were worn as they were sunken in the middle and we could feel the mattress springs. There wasn't a clock in the room. No literature available in the room with information on restaurants and shopping in the area.

Ghetto Hotel
Hotel was not eye appealing, looked run down. Needs a lot of remodeling. I didn’t feel real comfortable and rate for the night was not worth it. I would rather pay more for better accommodations. I would not recommend this Hotel Ghetto.

Spartan, but clean place.
The room was spartan. No hangers. One chair. Several wall sockets were covered with plastic plate, making them unusable.

The property is in the process of upgrading which includes painting. The bath/toilet area had been upgraded. There was no carpet but plank flooring which has some advantages. But there were no table lamps just the rather bright overhead light. Made reading rather painful. The TV was sad. There were no chairs or places to hang clothing. Lots of empty drawers. For instance there was no toilet paper holder. Just two rolls sitting on the back of the toilet tank. And the shower curtain didn't come all the way down which meant that water got on the bath floor. So they are upgrading/renovating but haven't a clue about the little things. And the refrigerator dumped water on the floor twice.
