Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
When I booked, I saw the property had a very high rating. Not sure where that rating came from, pillowcases were yellow, gray, and worn. One of the pillowcases had sketchy looking spots on it,Towels were also very worn and gray and the stack of two washcloths had the very clear imprint of perhaps a coffee mug. Which makes me think they clearly don’t change out all of the towels between guests.
We had asked for a floor level room due to my mother having health issue's and the guy told us he couldnt do it due to there not being any open. There were only 2 other vehicles in the parking lot. The towels, blankets, and sheets were very dingy looks like they need to be relplaced. Shower head was amazing best part of the room. I know its a cheaper room but accomidating your guest should be a top priority no matter the price of the hotel definitely when you only have 2 other people staying at the hotel
Limited parking so people could park in front of their rooms. Lot right next to our room.... almost looked like homeless people had lived there. Floor in room filthy. Feet were black after a few minutes walking around barefoot. Walls must not be insulated... you could hear sneezing in the next room and every single sound outside.
Shower was wonderful. Young foreign man at front desk was pleasant.
I guess you get what you paid for.

Tucked away behind a storage yard. Enormous dumpster directly outside my door. Manager was not friendly.
