Great location and free parking, but that's where it ends! I'll make it fast from start to finish: Lobby stunk, receptionist was joyless, couldn't open door, walked into a small water puddle, room STUNK, bathroom had rust and door was warped, the walls are paper thin (so the room next to you can literally hear everything you say) and finally checked-out with the same joyless receptionist! Won't go back nor recommend to anyone!!!

The location of the hotel was great, along with the free parking but that's where it ends. As soon as I walked into the lobby I smelled old dirty moldy towels, which immediately left a bad taste in my mouth. The young lady checking me in was not friendly at all, she looked unhappy to be there. As soon as tried the key it wouldn't open the door, after several attempts I got it opened and the first thing I see in front of the door was a small water puddle. The room stunk worse then the lobby. The bathroom had rust and warping along the doors. Then when the guests came next to our room we could hear word for word what they were saying because the walls were paper thin. So I got no sleep! Then I when I checked-out I had the misfortune of checking-out with the same unhappy lady! I will not go back to this location nor will I recommending it to anyone!!!

This "motel" is filled with homeless and is not in a very good part of town. Several occupants appeared to be living out of the motel. The walls are so thin you might as well be in your neighbors room. The furniture and decor of the motel needs a refresh. The employee were very nice. I guess it's a get what you pay for type of place. Lasted one night and changed hotels.

Needed a hotel for few hours to nap before we take our early morning flight, so booked this hotel for the proximity of the airport. Such dated property, Doors jammed, have to use force and push with shoulders to open and close. Paper thin walls, zero privacy. We stayed in room #249. room 248 was so loud watching TV till 3 am and all sorts of private sounds keeping us up all night. Found a bug on the bed sheet. The blankets and bedding looked too old and used..
