Its a great value

So on Hotels.com it says that they had an airport transfer from the airport. It’s one of the reasons I went with this hotel. But when I landed for my flight they said that was no longer available and that I would need to get a taxi. That was annoying, and should probably be updated. The lady was also eating while they were on the phone with me so I couldn’t catch all of what they were saying. The room was great considering the price. You can tell the room has been through a lot, but they really cared about how clean it was. They had a microwave, a nice size fridge, a bathtub, a TV, a couch with a pullout bed, and it was VERY spacious room. It was just me staying, but if you need have a group this is a good place to consider. Overall the stay was good. Easy check in, easy checkout. I’ll definitely keep these guys in my top 5 list.

Pretty scary to be honest… Full of homeless people that are drunk all night and shouting. Somebody kept knocking on my hotel room door throughout the night. The bed sheets had cigarette burns on. It was quite an experience. The night receptionist was friendly, he obviously has to deal with so many in-ruly people.

The staff was rude and not helpful. The room was not that great and you could hear everything outside your door. They charge a $50 non refundable pet fee for a place that was a dump. Don’t waste your time or money for this sad excuse for a motel. Not too mention the area around it had a lot of shady characters hanging around and the parking was nearly non existent.
