The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The young lady who checked us in was kind and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting a family member in the local hospital.
Unfortunately, the room was not clean, bugs plentiful and did not feel really safe after dark. Other than convenience and price, I could not recommend it.
The lady at the front desk was very friendly! The room smelled like mold but was pretty clean. I also really like that they have security at night, that definitely made us feel safer!
This place is not in the best part of town. It doesn’t resemble what is shown in the photos. Fencing around parking area and the check in is done with the clerk behind plexiglass. Check in was fairly easy. The room is old. The bed was quite comfortable with fresh linens. The bathroom was clean. Old, thin towels but adequate. It was very loud with traffic right near our room. All in all, it met our needs for a place to sleep and shower
The staff is friendly. The room was clean but unappealing and with a torn curtain at the window. The bed covering and the curtain need to be changed / updated. Old looking interior. The environment does not feel safe. At arrival midnight, check in was done through a small window with guest outside on the street in the cold. Will never go for this hotel ever again.
