Staff was super nice. Room was clean, bed was really comfortable. Air conditioner worked well. Check-in went fast and easily. The hotel has seen better days and looks it. My room smelled very very strongly of cigarette smoke. I would have liked a secondary indoor lock on the door.

2-night trip

4/10

The room was nice and everything looked good and clean, but the AC did not work and the freezer did not freeze. Those are my only complaints but besides that the bed was comfortable and I was able to remove the chair to the AC for a little bit. There was also a few homeless people outside but it looks like security takes them off pretty well and quick. He was good with the flashlight

I will definitely stay there again. The only bad thing i have to say is that it was hard to take a shower because the water got extremely hot! There was no cold water at all to turn the water cooler. Other then that its a great hotel to stay at.

4/10

Would not recommend, room was old and worn out, didn’t feel clean, TV didn’t work, no cold water only hot, ac had one speed only, no bedspreads on the beds. The whole property looked dirty and unkept. The woman at check-in was terribly unfriendly. The entire stay was unsatisfactory.
