This place has huge potential and must have been a really cool MCM motel at one time, but the current management has no clue what they are doing, unless running a flop house is their business model , I almost wanted to buy the place just so that I could fix it!!

The staff was kind but the hotel was a bit filthy. There was “repaired” water damage that was just a hole punched into the spot where it had occurred. The shower was gross. The walls had weeds growing through the edges. The mattresses were a bit too brown for comfort

There were several major issues with the room. The bed was broken. The bathroom door didn't close. There was no smoke detector. The electrical wiring was exposed in a few places.

Bed was gross and broken. Several inches lower on one side so entire mattress was sloped.

The first time we stayed, it was excelent. Totally worth 150$. 2nd time we stayed, 200 a night and we got a room which the bathroom was completely destroyed. Door was broken, faucet was broken, shower wouldnt drain, toilet handle was inaccessable. Just ruined the stay. Management said they inherited the property like that.

DO NOT STAY HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Trust me. If you are thinking, like we did, “it can’t be that bad”. Think again. I am not exaggerating or being a Karen. Room smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the walls, brown goo of some sort, on the curtains, and lamp shades, oh and a big cockroach in the bathroom, and baby one in the hallway. You are not that desperate.
