Worst hotel ever. The owners were extremely rude after checking in late. Checked in late due traffic threw my spouses id on the desk. At 8am the next morning was asking us to check out because of bed bugs and insects in the room and we asked to change. Never again

The property was clean. There was no one hanging out. I felt safe. The room could have been updated. However it was clean. It’s a decent place to stay for the night for a good price. Not everyone has $150 plus deposit and deserve a decent place while traveling.

Great prices for a quick stay or business trip where a hotel isn’t an option, staff is good and the location has a lot of attractions. The place isn’t a 5 star hotel but it is a place to stay and spend the night, smoking rooms are always a plus.
