There was some construction going on right next to the hotel, so the pool was gone, and parking was limited on one side of the building. On the other hand, we had a room on the end of the building with parking right in front. It was pretty quiet and clean. The complimentary breakfast was simple but good. And the location was pretty close to everything we needed to go to.

This hotel was good for what you pay! The hotel itself needs to update photos because those photos are not how the hotel looks currently! The area is just ghetto—homeless people everywhere—and they are partying it up in the canal just next door. Then let me tell you, the SWAT team came out, and the next morning the investigation team was investigating something that looked serious! But yeah, we had the kiddos. The hotel was just mid—they never mop, but the staff and breakfast were good! However, please update the photos, guys…

The room isn’t bad. We had ants in the restroom. The area isn’t the best two of the three nights that we stay police activity on the side of the hotel with the house people. Make sure for breakfast on the weekend you have enough and sufficient time to wait the person making the waffles are always super nice super kind but it’s busy and you only have one person passing out breakfast and making waffles so Overall just have the time to wait in a very small breakfast area very limited on seating.

The room smelled of tobacco. The curtains stank. I mentioned this to the desk clerk, and he gave me a can of Febreze to use. Helped a little. Overall, the hotel was okay, but the room was not clean enough.

Review: Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations. I appreciated the kindness of the staff who allowed me to check in a few minutes early, which was a nice touch. However, that was about the only positive aspect of my stay. The parking lot was in poor condition, being uneven and cracked, which made it difficult to navigate. Upon entering the hotel, I noticed the common areas had bars on the windows and signs warning guests to close doors behind them, which created a sense of unease. The surrounding area felt run-down and was filled with transient people, contributing to an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. Additionally, ongoing construction made it hard to get in and out of the hotel, further detracting from my experience. For the price I paid, I had much higher hopes, but the quality felt more in line with a $60-a-night room. The overall environment was quite shabby, with rooms that were poorly maintained. I could hear everything from outside, and the walls showed signs of inadequate patchwork. Cracked tiles and cheap repairs were evident, and the beds were squeaky and felt low-budget. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel. It felt very similar to a Motel 6 in quality, with a parking lot filled with abandoned vehicles and people living in them. For the price, I expected much better and would not stay here again.
