The door handle was so messed up that the key card barely worked. It took several attempts to get in the room. Also the tv in the bedroom did not work. The photos of this place are a bit deceitful as well.

Our first room key didn't work in the door. They immediately gave us a different room. But the new room had trash that hadn't been emptied. The water in the shower was lukewarm. The room had a kitchenette which was nice. The bed was comfortable. Overall for a budget stay it was good.

They're renting rooms long term to crack heads and it seemed like every person checked in had a barking dog in their room or were in the middle of a domestic shouting match. Unfortunately, this trip, they committed the worst sin a hotel can. At 9:30 pm on Friday night, someone puts a key in, opens MY door and walks right into my hotel room! Apparently when they moved me from one room to another, the front desk didn't check me in to the new room and it showed vacant. Obviously it wasn't. That's a great way for someone to get shot. A real shame, it's a very nice property in a good area but they'll be out of business within 2 years at this rate. I won't go back.
