Clean, Comfortable, Safe

The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place

Never again, but we survived

not a great area, the hotel next door had a guest room window broken out the last day of our stay. didn't have an iron in the room and couldn't get one from the front desk. Our room keys would work for a couple hours and never the next day and then when I finally got back to the room at 1am and my room key didnt work, there was no one at the desk and no number to call, just can't get in your room for the four hours you can sleep before having to get up for the next day. plus a $100 room deposit that they don't tell you about until you're there checking in, that takes 2-3 business days to be refunded. for a room you can't get into half the time, and that is so dirty when you get in there that you dont take your shoes off unless youre in bed, and we considered the shower. There was needle caps shoved in the tub drain that still let some water go down so we didnt touch it.. Overall, never again, but we survived

I didn’t even get out of my car because I was alone and scared. There were people EVERYWHERE in the parking lot. Sitting on cars, blasting music, riding their bikes all around, approaching other vehicles. There were also 3 smashed up cars in the parking lot. Didn’t look like a safe area at all! Didn’t stay here, got a different hotel.

It was a motel experience. Cleanliness was below average. Service was subpar and the room didn’t have a fresh smell to it. I needed a cheap room for the night and I got what I paid for.
