First of all there is no phone to access the front desk in case of emergency...then the couple next door were hollering and fighting all night long and into the morning but of course there was no phone to call the front desk and report them...and then there was the paper comforter and no spare blanket so I had to sleep with the heater on all night long...all in all I had a terrible nights sleep...glad I only booked on night.
The property itself is very run down, and lots of shady characters at night time in the parking lot. Housekeeping service was non existent-during my four day stay, on the positive side the room was spacious, it had a fire TV
This will be a very nice hotel if they fix up their rooms. It's in a convenient area. And the price and the deposit is good. This property needs cosmetic updates.
