Unsafe, unclean, and not recommended. They put lipstick on a pig, then it smeared all over the place! Also, it is not a hotel…it is a MOTEL! Maybe they should learn the difference…u fortunately, hotels.com somehow magically has this 3.0 (m)otel listed at 8.0…dream on!

The facility is no where near an 8, this is a 3 at best. The pictures must reflect how it was the first day. The neighborhood is sketchy, loud, and unsafe at night. The room was worn, damaged, and not very clean. The sheets thankfully were clean and the beds were comfortable enough. The door would not close all the way and looked like it had been previously kicked in - it would only latch if you pushed firmly and it was so warped the deadbolt could not be locked (and this is not a good neighborhood). One towel had blood stains, the bathroom was not clean, and the shower door would not stay closed. Enough said…I do not recommend!

Check in was easy as pie, the room was clean, the staff were courteous and friendly ( Zabrina! She was so nice, easy to talk to! ). Only negative i have about the whole experience we're the vending machines, they did not work, no signage to indicate and it ate my money. It's like oooooh so many good snacks but no, you can't have them! Put a sign on it! It was pretty quiet during our stay, if i come for another event in the same area i would stay again, for sure.

Convenient location for downtown. Is an older 2 story property with recent upgrades. Manager and staff were good. Located on a very busy and noisy street; expect noise and outside lights 24/7. Do not expect a 5 star facility and you will find good value for dollar.

Don't let it's looks deceive you. The rooms are very nice, modern and clean. We needed an inexpensive place to stay close to our daughters apartment and this fit the bill. It doesn't look like much from the outside but we were very happy with our stay. Will definitely stay here again.

This property does NOT look like the photos. I was shocked when I got to this property and actually saw it in person. I was bringing my daughter and her friend to the Billie Eilish concert and when we pulled up I was so embarrassed and slightly mortified. Thank god it was only one night.
