Adequate room. The bed size is not a queen, though advertised as one. The breakfast is mediocre. Cleanliness could be better or worse. Low rate is the best selling point.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property isn’t anywhere near like the pictures on their site. The parking lot isn’t very secure, with people hanging around. The carpet in the room was stained and shower moldy. The ac in the room had wires hanging under neath. A fight broke out between guest at 2 am one night as well. When deciding to leave, management stated there would be charged another night due to not being able to remove belongings before 11. Never again!

I didn't know that the location was on the opposite side of town. My kids told me that it wasn't the best location. I didn't have any bad experiences with anyone. But it was in the older part of town. It needs an overhaul. But for the money for me to have a place to crash, it was okay.

Staff was very kind during our stay. We did notice a smoke smell all throughout our smoke free room (I'm pretty sure the hotel is supposed to be smoke free) when we arrived. We told staff after we came back to the hotel room later that night (we had an event and were on a time crunch) and while there were no rooms available to change for that night, we were able to change the next day. We ended up not taking the offer as the smell dissipated. Sadly, it came back on our very last night. I'm pretty sure someone in one of the rooms next to us was smoking and it permeated into our room. We had to open up the window for an hour or so. I would've called the desk, but we had to get up early for our flight. Other than that, the room was clean, there was a good decent sized mini-fridge, our towels were replaced during our stay, and the bed was comfortable. The vending machine down the hall also had a good selection of late night snacks.
