The breakfast menu was very basic. packaged oatmeal, coffee, toast, cereal, waffle maker. No pastries or eggs. The room was clean and the bed comfortable but the lamp shades had holes and looked like they were broken. The in wall heater did not seem to have a controller for the fan and when it unit came on it forced a large blast of air all the way across the room. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The little refrigerator was on and cold. That was a plus.

Walked in, the room smelled like fried chicken or something akin to freshly-made fried gas station food. I felt "something" as I walked across the carpet. Done. Literally stayed there for 10 minutes. Because of my tight schedule, I had to leave and book another place while on the road to my meeting. The lady at the front was nice; too bad the property did not meet minimum expectations

Stayed in 110 and the room was cute and fairly spacious! Wished there was a coffee pot in the room but I was ok without that. Bathroom is super spacious and nice. The heater was pretty loud and made it a tad hard to sleep. There were also funky people yelling outside at 3am but otherwise, everything I needed was provided and the front desk guy was cool.

I didn't expect much for the low room rate, but I can't stay there again. The room smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I woke up feeling sick from breathing it all night. One pillow felt very lumpy so I peeked under the pillow case and saw it was completely stained yellow.

Comically oversized furniture (desk, dresser) on other side of bed, making it very tight to get through to other side of room. Needs basic repairs: baseboard nearly falling off in various areas, entrance door needs weather-stripping (large gaps around door/doorframe making it possible to see/hear outside from inside of room), soap dispenser in bathtub empty and broken, sink plug missing, tub faucet knob shows wrong direction of hot and cold water. No soap in room upon arrival, but front desk staff was polite and was able to find some in housekeeping closet.
