Friendly staff

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was kind of run down and...damp? It wasn't the nicest place to stay but not bad for the price.

If I was on my own and just needed a cheap bed for 1 night, it'd be fine. But for my wife and I for 2 nights... not good. We checked out early. Some rooms have permanent residents; very worn, no breakfast, luke warm shower water, bed meh, etc. Staff nice and polite though.

Close to alot of attractions with a price that even the poor folks can get out of town. Took awhile to check in as they didnt know how to do an expedia room rental. Also someone came in our room late (no chain on the door) flipped on the lights but then realized we were in there. Our key cards didnt work the next day so unsure of what was going on but scary nonetheless.

They had a hard time finding my reservation but thankfully the staff was very kind about it. They have me the wrong suite and told me that the one I booked was already taken. But the suite they gave me wasn't bad it was spacious and nice. But when taking a shower the bath filled up. But other than that it was nice because the beds are so comfy!!! So it was worth it!!!

Would choose somewhere else

Got there 20 minutes early. They told us they didn’t have any rooms available to come back sometime after four then as we are leaving, told us they had a room. Person at front desk could not give me a receipt stood there for five minutes, staring at the screen and wouldn’t ask anybody for help even after I asked her to because I needed a receipt so left without a receipt.

Price was right. Looks like they have been slowly upgrading the old motel. Seems they installed a water softener, got better a/c, lush towels and nice and clean.

The staff at night carried on all night. The place smelled like they had been smoking swisher sweets and other things in it My keys were deactivated every single day and I paid for a week. They acted as though it was an inconvenience for me to be there. Come to find out this is more or less a hotel for homeless people.icing on the cake there were cockroaches sitting behind the tv having a stare down with me at 10:30 pm 3 nights in.
