Its hard to find a cheap hotel that makes you worry when statung there because its either ghetto or dirty but i was very happy with the stay the only thing i could complain about was that the television was kinda small and like most bathrooms they have that garbage design that has one knob. Other than that the staffin the morning and at midnight were friendly. The beds were comfortable and the floor was clean unlike alot of hotels.

Courteous staff, okay experience. I realize the place isn't new but could use some updating. However, for the price, I'd say it was equal to expectancy. The mini fridge looked to be really old but worked. The bathroom light/fan was so loud it could wake the dead. Positives... USB port lamps, new flooring & TV + clean upon arrival. Hope this constructive criticizism is helpful.
Room was rough, cigarette butts under bed, trash from previous guests. There was hair that did not belong to me or the other guest in our bed when we turned down the blanket. Light switch by door did not turn on any lights in the room….
Seemed quiet and safe. No noise makers at night. Just people sleeping before work.

Bathroom could have been cleaner. Towels and linens were stained. Chairs not comfortable for watching TV. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a table with 2 chairs.
