You get what you pay for

The check in process was basic. The staff member at the front desk was kind and professional. The front desk is not open 24hr. The room was basic. Nothing fancy. Beds were comfortable enough to sleep. The hotel was a close walk to the casinos. The only negative about the room was how dirty the floor was. I had on a pair of white socks the entire time I was in the room. When we left in the morning, I actually just threw the socks away because they were so black on the bottom. If it had not been for the cheap price at the time I booked, I would say I would not stay here again.

Staff was super nice. There was no shower curtain in our bathroom so couldn’t take shower. Also there was an outside light right outside the window that made the room very bright and made sleep difficult. Lots of street noise as well. Also air conditioning did not work. Room was very hot

Check in was quick, but not accommodating. The over all appearance of the place will looks nice but the rooms have no air flow, the doors do not lock when closed you have to slam it closed, the shower has only scolding hot water, no remote for the tv, trash all throughout the hotel property, noisy customers fitting in parking lot all hours of the night throwing things at cars off the balcony, weed smoke all over the place. If your into an all night drinking/weed smoking experience with couples fighting this is the place for you

no charm

$25 for parking in a Motel with a big empty lot - no way. The hotel was less than 20% full and they put a family with screaming children who bounced between the beds and walls all night right over us. Recently renvated so now its like a cheap white hospital room. No comforter, only a gross old fleece blanket. The teeny friege was placed in a cabinet made for a medium fridge and it didnt even fit a bottle of champagne standing up in it.
