Check in was normal and fine. The room itself wasn’t the worst I’ve stayed in. However, if you are the type of person who is concerned about the area around you, I don’t recommend this hotel. The amount of straight up marijuana I smelled was unreal. Most of the other guests I saw looked like either hookers or they just got out of prison. Just a lot of shady characters. I was told this area of town is known for a high drug rate. The elevator wreaked and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month. I went to the so called gym to work out and I just couldn’t do it. It smelled musty in the room. Probably because they had stored several washing machines in there. The equipment had torn seats and just didn’t look safe. This is an $60 hotel not an $100 hotel. Overall I was not impressed and will never return. I recommend you choose a different hotel in a different area.

Disappointing and not worth the high nightly cost

Front desk staff were nice. Room was adequate and bed was comfortable. Mold in the bathroom. Fitness center filled with broken equipment - avoid! Warning about breakfast-- they ration out the food each day, so they were out of some food by 8am, week before the stated end time (9am). I chose this place over other nearby places based on ok reviews. I would NOT recommend staying here.
