I shouldve just slept in my car. Waited 20 minutes in the lobby for someone to finally show up. Had to shove the couch against my door so i would feel safe. Really loved the huge firework that was let off at 1130pm. Thought someone was shooting at my door. Breakfast is literally a honeybun. Please save your money and go some place else.

1 night is enough of this place. The area is kinda sketch and the furniture and is old. The free breakfast is non existent. Staff is friendly. Probably would not return.

For the price, by today's standards, I got what I paid for. The sink and tub were okay but the faucets in both a trial. The bed was Motel 6 level of comfort, but tolerable. I just needed a decent night's sleep and I got that without too much trauma, so it was worth spending less money for a nicer place.

The hotel is old, but fairly clean and quiet. My gripe is the carpet in the room which needs replacing.

Really nice people checking me in. The first room had a bed that needs replaced, so I asked for another room. They obliged without question. There was an area that had trash piling up. I’m glad I didnt stay near that.

First room I was in I accidentally booked a smoking room. Not from the cigarette smoke alone but the room was DISGUSTING. Wouldn’t sleep there for sure. The toilet didn’t work so I swapped rooms and requested a non smoking room and substantially better. I think it was OKAY (not good) for the price.
