Really nice people checking me in. The first room had a bed that needs replaced, so I asked for another room. They obliged without question. There was an area that had trash piling up. I’m glad I didnt stay near that.

First room I was in I accidentally booked a smoking room. Not from the cigarette smoke alone but the room was DISGUSTING. Wouldn’t sleep there for sure. The toilet didn’t work so I swapped rooms and requested a non smoking room and substantially better. I think it was OKAY (not good) for the price.

It was easy to check-in and out. Room was clean. Had no problem finding parking. Plus, the parking lot was lit so I felt like my car was safe. Hoping this was only a one-time thing but at 2am a bunch of guests came and spent well over an hour blaring music in their room and out at their cars talking/laughing very loud and drinking beer.
