You get what you pay for. Super dirty and gross from the entry to the rooms. Side door had no place for cigarette butts so they are just all over the ground. Smelled like pot by the rooms. Bathroom was very dirty. Bed was old and lumpy. Very loud heater and large gaps under the door. Bathroom door does not open all the way as it hits the toilet. Had to press 0 for a desk person on a very dirty and broken phone at check in. Was not friendly at all.

You Get What You Pay For – But They Could Try Harder At only $47 a night, expectations weren’t high, but they could at least try a little harder. The room looked dirty, light bulbs were missing, and the TV didn’t work—there weren’t even batteries in the remote. The AC unit was broken, making it uncomfortable to stay in. The building didn’t feel secure, and people were roaming the halls all night, making it hard to get any sleep. Even for a budget stay, basic maintenance and cleanliness should be a priority. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The fire alarm was disconnected. The tub had built up hard water deposits in the drain and no drain plug. The cover for the bathroom fan/light was sitting on top of the towel holder and filthy dirty. The floor had dirt and grease on it. The heater was noisy, and the bed had a sheet and a bedspread that was just as thin as the sheet as it's only covers. The man checking us in was not friendly and didn't seem to know much. The hallway carpets and stairs needed a good vaccuming.

Not friendly

Arrived at the hotel and there was no one at the front desk. There were two other parties in front of me waiting to check in. One of them use the phone provided to call to reach an employee, but it just rang at the front desk so that was useless. It was at least 20 minutes after I arrived before someone came to the desk. The bathroom door in our room was broke and didn’t close. The base of the bed was dented and broke and felt like we were going to fall on the floor. We booked this hotel because it had fairly good reviews saying the staff was very friendly and didn’t charge for pets. I think they don’t charge for pets because then they would have to talk to you and ask if you had pets. The man at the desk said maybe 20 words between all three of us checking in. In the morning they kept bugging us asking us when we were going to leave.
