You get what you pay for. It was a cheap place to stay in a good location. There is a night club right across the street. We stayed on a Saturday night and the noise level was crazy all night, so if you are sensitive to that, I would not stay here. The first room we were assigned had no smoke detector and there was a constant chirp. We were given a different room. This room had a dead cockroach in the bathroom. The AC worked really well and the bed was fine. The location is just a little sketchy depending on which direction you walk. There was free parking which was nice. Chase stadium was a 20 minute walk from the motel. Overall, it was fine and we had a good time.

The price was good, but it's obvious this property cuts corners to maintain profits. The front desk clerk who ran the evening shift was nice and the location was super close to the venue. For a place to crash for a single night, this property was worth it's value

The staff here was the best and were very helpful. That's the good but my room(106) had a dingy smell. bathroom door is not hinged correctly and three times I got towells with a black spot on it. Ok if you don't bring the family and you don't plan on spending much time in the room. You get what you pay for.

Just not good. I declined to shower there because I did not trust the cleanliness of anything. So I checked out two days early. Did not feel safe, either.

Every day we had to get a new key because ours stopped working. We also only had one channel working on the tv. There was suppose to be someone coming in to fix it but they never showed. Parking was ALWAYS full due to the party goers in the area and not actual people staying at the hotel. Our closet REEKED of an oder ( my bf said it smelled like heroin) so we left it closed and kept our stuff out of it. The floors were stained as well as the tiles in the bathroom. I usually don’t mind staying at smaller motels/hotels , but this one I cannot return too.
