The room was pretty nice, staff okay, the neighborhood a little sketchy but no real problems there. The halls got a bit noisy at night and no one seemed to want to curb that behavior.

YOU'D BE BETTER OFF SLEEPING IN A CAR OR A TENT

It is a disgustingly dirty, smelly, horrible hotel. The man at the front desk described the rooms as “nice,” which tells me they don’t see the need for improvement. The walls in the room were dirty and stained, the internet did not work, and the air conditioning was malfunctioning—I was hot and uncomfortable the entire night. I would have been better off sleeping in my car. No person should stay in that filth. The person at the front desk the next morning was the dirtiest, grimiest-looking individual I’ve ever encountered, with rotted-out teeth and an unfriendly attitude.

King Memory

Solid value inside the loop. 212 had a King-Sized Memory-Foam Bed! (The headboard was crooked.) TV was ROKU which i find more enjoyable than cable, and the A/C worked quickly on a hot day! It served its purpose.
