You get what you pay for. This is an older facility that has had some minor upgrades. The linens were mostly clean, I returned a couple of pillowcases. The furniture was worn and the tub/shower looked like a war had happened in it. The door wouldnt completely lock so we blocked it with a sofa. If you want cheap, under $100 a night, and just a mostly clean bed. . . There are lots of better options in the area.

The front desk assistant was great a the room was good . My only issue was the top comforter was dingy an dirty so I removed it but as I was leaving I watched the guy pick it off the floor an lay it in the tv table so he could put it back on the bed. It needed washed so that was a little concerning to me . Other than that my stay was good

There were alot of vagrants roaming around. The front desk attendant was very nice, helpful, and pleasant. The room was what you'd expect it to be. Late the last night I stayed there some guy upstairs caused a ruckus so loud the law was called. Sounded like he broke into the room above me and was slamming the furniture around yelling and screaming. Stomping on the floor. Other than that my stay was ok I guess.

Very nice man in the office. The room 104 was large and clean. Only issue I had was around 11 pm a family with some kids checked into and were out in room above me so those small kids running around was loud until they settled down. I would stay again
