Front desk was extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are not horrible, they have an updated furniture but flooring was already getting damaged and warping. The exterior was horrible. There were homeless people sleeping outside the rooms on the bottom floor. When I arrived at night there were a ton of homeless hanging out by the exit of the hotel. Overall price was two hundred dollars per night which for the quality I feel was extremely high. I’ve stayed at motel 6 for cheaper and probably nicer grounds.

Won’t stay here again

This place is not in a good part of town and bares little resemblance to the photos on this site. Had accurate photos been used, I would have been ready for the drug addicts and prostitutes loitering in the parking lot, bed sheets and blankets with burn holes in them, and a stained bathroom that looks like someone gutted a large fish in the bathtub.

The hotel is definitely not as it appears in photos, the room smells old and as if people have smoked in them, towels are black stained, and then the area around the hotel is unsafe, many homeless or drug addicts looming around the area...I would not recommend this place to anyone!!

Don’t do it..it’s not worth it!

Worst hotel stay! The comforters, sheets, pillows, and towels were dingy and dirty! The bathroom floor was filthy as well as the shower and tub. Even after requesting a room change, the alternative was no better. We had to drive down to the local Walmart to buy Clorox wipes. Lysol, bed sheets, blankets, pillow cases and shower slippers. This hotel has a lot of homeless traffic, and what seemed like illegal activity.
