Go somewhere else

The “blanket” on the bed is just a slightly thicker than usual sheet. The towels are tiny. The walls are thin so if you’re a light sleeper you’ll be going to bed when your neighbor does. The blackout curtains let a lot of light in. The shower is setup to never give you hot water, you will get lukewarm water at best for a shower. It’s like this hotel doesn’t want you to be comfortable, go somewhere else.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was really nice, however the halls smelled like weed and body odor. Our room didn't smell but wasn't in the best shape. The curtain rod was bent and kind of hanging from the wall, the paint was peeling in areas. Beds were definitely older and they could use new pillows. Our towels were also stained when we went to use them. It also sounded like the neighbors were in your room when they were talking. Thankfully I'm not a light sleeper. We did not try the breakfast.

Good & Bad

I appreciated the wood floors instead of carpet in the rooms. The check-in and check-out people were very friendly. There were only two towels in the room and one needed to be either thrown away or soaked in bleach!

The room was average but they try to charge when you boom through a 3rd party to makeup for the money they’re not getting on top of the deposits. Also found used towels hanging in the shower

when I checked in, they wanted a $50 security deposit. they sais it would be refunded wnen I checked out. When I checked out the next morning, the desk clerk said he could not give a security deposit credit to my credit card because it was a 3rd party payment.

We had rooms 101, 102, 103 for a wedding we had to attend. I guess the bed in 101 leaned pretty bad on one side. Room 102 bed was a little squeaky when trying to roll over. Room 103 seemed a little run down. However, the workers were very friendly and check in was extremely easy. Breakfast was decent for the price of the rooms. Would recommend for an inexpensive hotel if needed.
