Hard to Beat the Price

The price here remains a great value. The rest still needs work, but i do think they are trying. The individuals operating the check-in kiosk, for example, seemed more friendly than last time. The area behind the hotel (my room faced that direction), however, needs a major clean-up. I will continue to patronize the place given the value/effort

Potential but poor execution

Pros: Comfy bed, it did appear clean. Cons: Curtains wouldn’t close all the way so to keep the parking lot lights from shining in had to put the coffee maker on the air unit. The drain plug for the shower wouldn’t stay up so had to stand in a puddle of water. The doors do not close quietly so got woken up several times from people slamming them when they started checking out at 6 am. After showering i barely raised my towel off the bar and it shot off the wall. The smoke detector was dying/beeping when i arrived but they fixed it after i informed them. The floor was sticky by the door. The closet had a duct taped shower rod with one dusty hanger. There is no attention to detail here and it just felt neglected like it needs some TLC. If they would would make legit repairs instead of putting a band-aid on everything it could be a lot better.

You Get What You Pay For

The price here was hard to beat. For that you get a functional room and not a lot more. One great thing was that it was not crowded. The check-in kiosk feels rather impersonal. Breakfast is minimal. I'd stay here again if travelling alone - and the price remains the same.

This was the scariest hotel I have ever stayed at. Dead bolt on the door did not work. So we had to put things in front of the door to block it while we slept. Doors slamming at all hour and absolutely no staff on site to turn to.
