The hotel is back on a side street. There’s a lot of homeless on the Main Street. Kind of felt unsafe. The room was clean but needed some repairs like bolt was out of the toilet seat, so it moved from side to side. For a layover stuff I would do it again, but my friends advice is spend $20 more and you’ll be happy and I would probably say that about this hotel

I needed a place for a night and was terrified after reading reviews on a dozen hotels. This property was in a good area, right next to the interstate. My room was huge and clean. Bed slept great, the 1 staff member I encountered was nice and helpful. I don't require a lot as a traveler, and this fit my needs perfectly. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the room and property. Would definitely stay again.

This hotel is not worth the price. The bed was on a cheap frame that made noise with every move and the AC/heat has no "stay on" setting to drown out traffic and guest noise.

Good day, I’m very dismayed and disappointed that the hotel is currently holding US$100.00 and hasn’t released my funds back onto my card. I’m requesting for my funds to be returned asap. I’ve heard of hotels keeping a card on file in the event it’s needed but this lady held my funds and told me it’ll be returned to my card the following day. It’s been an entire week and my funds is still on hold. They held more money than what I paid for the room. I’m very disappointed and wish this matter to be resolved asap.

Just don't. Pick literally any other place. Park in any random parking lot and sleep the night off instead. Bad area, poorly taken care of. Not sure I felt any safer inside the room with a single chain lock (outside door) than I did outside. $100 security deposit hold and an additional $400 hold? Wild. Not as advertised at all. Would rate 0 if given the chance.

The person that checked me in was nice and courteous. The room was not good. There was stains on the lamps and walls. The entrance door had a few small holes where you could see sunlight coming through. Sheets needed to be changed. And something that I really hate along with the uncleanliness is bugs! There was roaches! I will never be staying there again nor would I recommend it to anyone!
