Substandard hotel! Would NOT recommend.

BEWARE: this is a low-quality, older motel building with outdated rooms, dirty furniture, missing fire alarm, burnt out electrical socket, and some long-term tenants who caused noise, disruptions, and unease all night long. Room had worn and dirty walls, hole in the bed sheet, and unclean shower. Room to the left seemed like long-term tenants who played loud music late into the night. Room to the right had some fight in the night which led to a police visit. In the morning those people had loud sex against our shared wall. Very low quality hotel definitely not for families. Beware when booking. Listing does not accurately reflect true condition of room or level of quality. Would NOT recommend.

Suite is Worth $100/night

Only $20 deposit. And at $100 a night you can get a suite with 2 actual rooms and a fridge with an actual freezer. Plenty of room. No grass or anything to take a dog potty.

Okay but Dirty

The hotel was alright. Good price and everything seems nice. Room service was nice too. Our refrigerator wasn’t working though and had some old liquid (probably oil) in it. Bathroom also was a bit dirty with unexplainable stains 9n the curtain and a bit on the wall. Blankets are thin but not an issue as long as you use the heater for cold nights. Overall a "you get what you paid for" thing, but could use a bit of a paint job.

Everybody makes too too much noise, guests yelling each other building to building, not a designated parking spot for your room, hotel personnel do not keep the outside areas quiet and peaceful, the building looks very old and, the bed makes a lot of noise as well. First and last time coming to this place
