There was no power in the room when we checked in and the hotel owner/manager was not even willing to help out. We couldn’t go anywhere else as it was pretty late so we had to stay there anyway and manages with flashlight from the phone. We have asked for a refund and awaiting it. Horrible experience and customer service.

Be prepared if you have luggage, no elevator. The bathroom door didn't even close and the sink was severely cracked. The USB charging device did not work. This is a bare bones lodging.

The room was somewhat clean. TV remote did not work, no channel guide for TV. There was no coffee maker but did have an ice bucket. Overall bed was comfortable.

Knowing we wouldn’t be spending that much time in the room we took the gamble. As our kids called it, mom and dad’s skanky hotel. It felt tired and unfriendly. We felt unwelcome as we entered and exited. Wouldn’t stay again!

Clean, nice staff, area seemed safe. Price was relatively low for the area, but you get what you pay for - sheets were a bit scratchy and the entire place pretty run down.

Nice spot for a quick one nighter. Smack in the middle of a ihop and McDonald’s is pretty nice if you wanted something quick and didn’t want to go far. Shower ran all night which wasn’t great but water pressure was nice. Not many amenities, bring what you need for toiletries lol
