It was affordable and average. Wasn't expecting anything fancy, and didn't get anything fancy in return. Was a bit sad the continental breakfast has been discontinued permanently and this was not updated on Expedia. Room did smell pretty strongly of weed so if you have a weak nose be aware.

Overall we were happy with our stay. But I did find it strange and inconvenient that we had to leave a $50 cash deposit upon checking in and had to have a room inspection before checking out to get the deposit back.

Room was dirty, I did not want to take my shoes off. The lobby was extremely hot and person at desk spoke limited English. There is no airport shuttle as advertised. The area was sketchy with working women out and about. Awkward full sized fridge in room. The Breakfast that was offered, was dry cereal and water.

Attendant asked for a fifty dollar cash deposit... not cc... he was upset when I asked for a receipt for the cash, so he hand wrote it on my receipt from expedia... the door to the room had a lock above the handle because the handle lock did not work. The room was not swept. There was gaps in the door. And the bathroom tile floor was cracked and broken walls needed to be painted quickly... breakfast was a box of cereal you had to ask for a bowl and milk and coffee was cold... honestly seemed like a pay by hour hotel.. I have never stayed in one like this ever... i would have never taken my children to a place like this.. ferrell cat herd roaming the area living under stairs.. non smoking room definitely smoked in... people fighting in parking lot. Felt nervous all night did not sleep...
