The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The young lady who checked us in was kind and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting a family member in the local hospital. Unfortunately, the room was not clean, bugs plentiful and did not feel really safe after dark. Other than convenience and price, I could not recommend it.

This place is not in the best part of town. It doesn’t resemble what is shown in the photos. Fencing around parking area and the check in is done with the clerk behind plexiglass. Check in was fairly easy. The room is old. The bed was quite comfortable with fresh linens. The bathroom was clean. Old, thin towels but adequate. It was very loud with traffic right near our room. All in all, it met our needs for a place to sleep and shower

The staff is friendly. The room was clean but unappealing and with a torn curtain at the window. The bed covering and the curtain need to be changed / updated. Old looking interior. The environment does not feel safe. At arrival midnight, check in was done through a small window with guest outside on the street in the cold. Will never go for this hotel ever again.

The hotel was not maintained well. Breakfast was very basic just waffles cereal and after I fixed my waffles they said it wasn't anymore better to be used. Which made a another customer upset with me I only made one waffle per guest in my room. Staff was mostly friendly. But I would not recommend staying there to anyone unless they just needed a place to rest and they didn't have enough money. The beds were hard and left my back hurting.

Staff were great. Very pleasant and helpful. The room was in disrepair, the toilet barely worked, the paint was stained. the tile in the bathroom was damaged. Beds (full sized, not queens) were OK at best. Outside noise was terrible.
