Great location if you’re attending any events at the expo center. The room wasn’t the cleanest but I went in thinking it was going to be much worse based on other reviews. No problem checking in/out. Saved a ton of money by staying here as there were many events going on and lots of other hotels had much higher rates and rooms sold out. Wasnt the worst place I’ve ever stayed.

The place wasn’t clean. The place was not well maintained. This is probably why it was so affordable. It looked good online, but that is where it ended. They were food stains on the wall, stains on the sheets and the shower was not clean and needed to be resurfaced.

toilet was falling apart; staff was nice; there were people in parking lot begging for money, food, water. AC worked; parking was good. Floor of hotel dirty; shower dirty; shampoo we had in room looked used and gooey on outside of it. This hotel was not worth the money at all. I was very surprised. I don't care how poor you are DO NOT STAY here. I was worried all night that my MC was going to be stolen!!

The room reeked of cigarette smoke. My suitcase still smells like it. One smoke detector was literally ripped off the wall and the other was covered with a plastic bag. The only real good points were the room was cheap for a music festival weekend and the beds were comfortable.
