There was nobody at the front desk when I arrived. I called the property with no answer. After. 10 minutes a manager came in. I quickly checked in. Key to room wouldn't work. Went back to front desk and got another key. That wouldn't work either. I forced the manager to come to the room up with a new key and it didn't work either. We went back to front desk where he changed room. I made him go to the room to open, and it worked. This is a $50 hotel going for over $200. I'd highly recommend you stay elsewhere.

Just ok, noisy

The room was fine. It is located on a major street and unfortunately I had a room closest to the street (likely because I booked through a 3rd party). The street noise was quite loud, even using a white noise app. Was difficult to sleep.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This is was a terrible choice. Unsafe, parking area dimly lit & appeared to be a “1 hour motel”.undesirable people walking around The parking area and hanging out in front. I refused to stay there with my wife. We found another location where we stayed. I should get my money back for this Rxpedia recommended
