There were no employees present ever. Virtual check in only and the area around and the hotel itself was rather scary. Refused our refund request for leaving early.

My Elderly Mother booked a room for 1 night due to a heat issue at home. After making sure she was settled in I left for the night. My mother proceeded to tell me that three different men walked into her locked room 2 that night and one the next morning. My husband upon finding this out called to complain and the representative said she would call him right back. Still have not received a call back. Some shady stuff happening at this hotel I would advise not staying there.

Good value

Overall, the hotel was clean, but a bit dated. The bed was fine, but the pullout mattress was wore out and thinned out. The microwave and fridge were nicer than most hotels. The towels were clean, but very low-grade and small than typical hotel towels.

the room was clean and well lit. check in was different as you do everything on a kiosk and i think you should be told much clearer that you are expected to come out of pocket with an extra 100 dollar deposit before you get there. there were no attendants there which was actually a nice change as they are usually annoying and ask too many questions anyhow. all in all i will be staying there again soon
