The first room was moldy and smelled of urine. We asked for it to be cleaned and the front desk gave us a different room. This one was clean but bedspreads had tears and holes in them. The beds were moderately comfortable and the air conditioner was operational and quiet.

Not for the faint of heart!

Room was basically clean but the condition of the interior were terrible. Dirty walls, repairs were not done correctly. Door doesn’t shut completely, Had to go back to office bcuz the door wouldn’t open with the key card and the second key card was not working correctly but no one came to help but a fellow resident said the same thing but we finally got in. Services I would say”what services “!

For the money that I paid for the room I got way more than expected. I just needed to sleep 2-3 hours to take a break while driving long distance and didn’t want to spend to much for unnecessary conditions, however I was pleased to be welcomed by a friendly staff, easy check in, clean place, fridge in the room, Wi-Fi, AC, and bed was pretty comfortable.

This is a real basic hotel for the traveler. It's cheap and No frills. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. I've stayed here many times, probably four or five times a year. I haven't had any major issues.
