Bad hotel in an otherwise nice location

Except for one nice older lady, the staff looked like ex-convicts, yet ran the place like a prison (surly, rude to guests). The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night (1am) and when we finally got to go back to our rooms because it was a false alarm, the fire department showed up with sirens blaring. I was propositioned in the lobby while waiting out the alarm. Based on the reaction of the staff, all of this seems to be a regular occurrence. The guest wifi did NOT work. At least there were nice places within walking distance.

We were woke up in the middle of the night due to a fire alarm because someone in one of the other rooms were smoking on it. It was unpleasant and very disturbing security wise

Cheap sleep. Cement Floors, Cleanliness not strong suit. Corners in bathroom; dirty and grime. walls and chairs stained; simple wipe down would have made this a better stay. Non smoking was nice , someone smoking in a room set off the until 1:30 a.m. fire alarms started blaring in the entire complex.

Adequate One Night Stay

Stopped in for a one night stay to rest a few hours on a cross country road trip. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room is best described as "adequate" .. it fits the price tag. The beds were comfy, the rooms looked clean, and the TV was nice. No amenities, no frills.. just a bed to sleep in for an affordable price. My one complaint was the noise ... the walls are quite thin and people were slamming the doors all night do I did not get much sleep unfortunately :(

Weather stripping missing from bottom of door so water bugs and roaches came and went as they pleased. Also, the fridge never worked so all the food we had bought had to ultimately be thrown out due to the fact we had no way to keep it at temperature. When we notified the front desk about the issue we were informed they wouldn’t be able to fix it until the maintenance man arrived the next day

The staff and the front desk was amazing. However, the hotel itself was so disappointing. It was dirty. There was roaches in the room. The bed had stained the chairs and the tables. It was absolutely disgusting. The only reason I gave this place to two star was because the staffing was amazing.
