Some issues, but overall an ok stay

Smallest parking lot of any hotel I have stayed at. If you get there early and get a spot, leave your car there and uber if you have plans. Also, they have a motion sensor in the bathroom which the light turns off after a few minutes. The sensor doesn't include the shower, so the light turned off during my shower. Other than that, the bed was comfortable and the room was relatively clean.

There was a hole in the bathroom wall, as if someone who stayed in said room before opened the bathroom door with force and left a door handle sized hole.

Not worth the $300—wish I’d stayed elsewhere. The place is seriously run down. The beds are ancient and on rollers, so good luck staying in one spot—any movement and you're halfway across the room. We could hear everything from the couple next door (they only lasted 4 minutes, if you're curious), so privacy is nonexistent. The toilet was cramped, the shower was grimy, and overall the room felt neglected. The lady at the front desk was kind, but that doesn’t make up for the condition of the place. Sorry, but this was a hard pass for me. Won’t be returning.

Compassionate Check-in

The Lady Proprietor at the hotel was very kind while assiting me with a challenge when I was checking in. This compassionate event made my stay very comforting. Thank you for you kindness.
