I didn't know that the location was on the opposite side of town. My kids told me that it wasn't the best location. I didn't have any bad experiences with anyone. But it was in the older part of town. It needs an overhaul. But for the money for me to have a place to crash, it was okay.

Staff was very kind during our stay. We did notice a smoke smell all throughout our smoke free room (I'm pretty sure the hotel is supposed to be smoke free) when we arrived. We told staff after we came back to the hotel room later that night (we had an event and were on a time crunch) and while there were no rooms available to change for that night, we were able to change the next day. We ended up not taking the offer as the smell dissipated. Sadly, it came back on our very last night. I'm pretty sure someone in one of the rooms next to us was smoking and it permeated into our room. We had to open up the window for an hour or so. I would've called the desk, but we had to get up early for our flight. Other than that, the room was clean, there was a good decent sized mini-fridge, our towels were replaced during our stay, and the bed was comfortable. The vending machine down the hall also had a good selection of late night snacks.

For the price it is a good selection. The beds are small, it appears there was dirt in edges around desk, walls and the shower. My wife smelled something like the room had been smoked in.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room we received for our stay had an incredibly dirty carpet including splashes of a mystery liquid that looked like blood, no Im not making this up. The beds were very stiff and the room itself smelled like a mix of sweat and urine. The access panel on the bathroom ceiling was rusty and seemed like it might fall off if you bumped it. It seemed that that room needed a good carpet cleaning and overhaul. Not a great place to stay.
