Nothing fancy but it was overall a good experience. Check-in was a little frustrating because the clerk apparently didn't speak or understand English very well. The exterior of property isn't fancy but nice. The room was very clean including the bathroom. Water pressure was good in the shower. Checked for bedbugs as I always do at any hotel. The mattresses are in the sealed bedbug bags. There is a CHARGE FOR PARKING! RIDICULOUS!!!! I understand if you weren't staying there. So be aware of that. I paid $5.00 Our destination was the yum center. Maybe 10 minute walk. Would stay there again. Will just make sure to bring an extre for parking 😁

The room smelt like straight up old cigarette smoke and there was a burn hole in the comforter as well as stains on the sheets. The room itself was overall dirty and then I had to slam the door just to get it to actually shut. Then at night there was people shouting nearby and random people/homeless people walking around the parking lot.
