Meh... you get what you pay for.
Easy process, good prices, friendly staff. Just a trashy, junk hotel. Make sure you park where you can see your car b/c there are questionable people walking around the parking lot at all hours of the night

Expedia needs to stop asking me for reviews. I deleted several emails about this because I only give reviews if I have a reason. This hotel closed in July 2025. Stop asking me for a review
The staff was friendly, the bed sheets were clean (hence 2 stars). Those are really the only positives. This is a very old, falling apart building that absolutely reeks of stale smoke from what i can only assume is decades of cigarettes.
My bathroom had the small variety of cockroaches, and the door was in shambles. I highly recommend paying a little more per night and staying somewhere else.
Room was absolutely filthy. Even the non smoking rooms reaked of cigs. White stains on the sheets, dirty sock and hair in the bathroom and the fridge didn’t work. Would have rather stayed in my car.
The property stunk really bad. The manager was very rude

Front desk staff are above and beyond. The rest of the hotel, not so much. A good value for its price, definitely.
I prefer the apple inn across the street
1. Staff is extremely friendly.
2. Rooms - sheets were dirty and stained. The carpet had huge noticable stains and needed many sweeping as it had alot of particles on it. Not to mention - i found glass on my bed and holes in my sheet.
3. The other tenants in the building looked sketchy. I was not 100% safe.
That place is disgusting, there was blood on the elevator wall, the carpet is old, dirty and gross, and needs to be replaced, that was my 3rd time staying there never again
The room was awful. The screen door to patio was broken. The lock for glass sliding door was broken. Broken bathroom door broken. Nasty patches on walls. Walls were dirty. Main door to room looked like it had several attempts of break ins
