Good value

This hotel is a great value for the area. It was great to have a kitchenette. It was not fully occupied despite the No Vacancy being displayed. The property is rather dated though - only plugin in bathroom is only for a razor and too high up for useage.

Old motel in bad neighborhood.

The owner/operator was challenging to communicate with both in person and by phone. Very old property with some maintenance so not completely run down but definitely not in good shape, in need of serious upgrades. Beds were reasonably comfortable, no offensive odors and we didn’t see any bugs so that was good. The trailer park behind the room was totally sketchy with people up and about all night long, although they didn’t make a lot of noise, it felt very unsafe. You must check in before 8pm and the office smells terrible. The pictures look better than real life. It would be worth a few more dollars to stay elsewhere, we will not return.

Not clean, funky,gunky smell

You get what you paid for, but of course at least they should have tried to clean the room and sanitize. We have to wash the cups,kettle and coffee maker first because it's so dirty. When you go for a shower both the shower and the faucet are running and that makes the tub filled up with water while taking a shower,funny but not good though. The room has funky, gunky smell. I hope not all the rooms are the same.
