The staff was super kind and check in my reservation was for a smoking room, so I dropped my bags and came back later. Didn’t think I needed to look for ashtrays, or to see exactly where the fire alarms were positioned, which it did not matter because anywhere in the room I smoked the fire alarm went off each and every time so I had to fan it with one of their very then towels…. I’m sure I inconvenienced everyone around me and just think I had to go to Walmart and buy a three dollar ashtray because there were none in the room and I only had 2 cups so I couldn’t do a makeshift one other than that great!!!

Woman who checked me is was very nice. Unfortunately the room looked like it hadn’t been swept or mopped in who knows how long. Floor throughout the entire room was filthy, lamps looked like that hadn’t been dusted in years. Linens on the bed and pillows smelled clean, but there was no way I would ever take a shower in that place based on the cleanliness of the bathroom and floors. Fridge and microwave had greasy finger and handprints smeared across them both. I wouldn’t use either one based on just the outside condition of both appliances. I know I didn’t pay much for one nights stay but you do expect at least the room to be cleaned thoroughly regardless of the price of the room. I would have for sure left or asked for a different room if my bed didn’t appear to be clean and if I was staying for more than 1 night.
