No, room was dated. Bathroom fan was noisy. Bathtub was damaged and repaired. Obvious the bathtub was damaged. Breakfast was sub standard. We opted not. Would have better to not have it. The room was clean but very dated. Was more of a motel than a hotel. Perhaps should have advertised as a motel. It was just ok! Staff not friendly.

Arriving at the hotel, I could immediately see this hotel was in need of a "Facelift", even a fresh coat of paint would have improved it! I was staying with various family members so it was too late to change your hotel. Although the bedding was OK, other items, such as towels showed worn. In my particular room the shower/bath diverter did not work, and the painted over bath insert was peeling. My brother was in another room and he said he found some splattering of blood on the bath counter, while friends in another room woke to a nearby guest wretching off the balcony at 2 a.m. I don't think I'd ever stay there again and the best thing I can say about the hotel is good location!

The room was okay with the exception of the super sticky floor. You needed to wear shoes at all times when walking through the room. The outside was absolutely horrible. Dirty drug needles in the “landscaped” areas. There’s no way that I’d ever feel safe there alone. People were up and down the sidewalks yelling and carrying on. Not a safe place!
