Meh... you get what you pay for.

Easy process, good prices, friendly staff. Just a trashy, junk hotel. Make sure you park where you can see your car b/c there are questionable people walking around the parking lot at all hours of the night

Expedia needs to stop asking me for reviews. I deleted several emails about this because I only give reviews if I have a reason. This hotel closed in July 2025. Stop asking me for a review

Old, but not in a charming way.

The staff was friendly, the bed sheets were clean (hence 2 stars). Those are really the only positives. This is a very old, falling apart building that absolutely reeks of stale smoke from what i can only assume is decades of cigarettes. My bathroom had the small variety of cockroaches, and the door was in shambles. I highly recommend paying a little more per night and staying somewhere else.

Room was absolutely filthy. Even the non smoking rooms reaked of cigs. White stains on the sheets, dirty sock and hair in the bathroom and the fridge didn’t work. Would have rather stayed in my car.

1. Staff is extremely friendly. 2. Rooms - sheets were dirty and stained. The carpet had huge noticable stains and needed many sweeping as it had alot of particles on it. Not to mention - i found glass on my bed and holes in my sheet. 3. The other tenants in the building looked sketchy. I was not 100% safe.
