I will say, you get what you pay for. This was one of the cheaper options for the weekend I selected, and being an enormous cheapskate, I'm pretty easy come, easy go. This put a bit of a push on that particular disposition. Positives: towels were clean and beautifully folded, shower was clean, room was at a perfect temperature and the cooling unit operated properly and quietly. So, for the negatives. Despite "No Smoking" signs being prominently displayed everywhere, EVERYWHERE smelled like an ashtray. There were ashtrays in the room, curiously. The smell hung in my suitcase, even after I came home. Other than that, everything seems to be rapidly deteriorating from a complete lack of maintenance. There's an abandoned pickup parked out front with trash in the bed, and I actually can appreciate its presence, as it alerts guests to what they can expect within the property. The sounds the elevator makes do not inspire confidence. When I turned on my light, the microwave sprang to life, dinging intermittently until I set the time. Again, you get what you pay for. This was an inexpensive option, but extrapolating from what I observed, I would avoid staying there again, simply as I believe more will go wrong between now and then.

The outside is old and looks like an office building. Walked in to pay and get a key. Immediately smelled like cigarettes in the lobby. We asked to see the room. Non-smoking! But it smelled like cigarettes. The carpet was so outdated and old. I didnt get 1/2 way into the room and I noticed the bed was old, and sagged! We could not handle the smell. We turned around and left. I have asthma and cannot breathe.

I already knew the area was safe and that's why I chose this hotel, because I've stayed at hotels in the area and I just needed an affordable, dog friendly place for the night. The check in process was quick and I was able to park right next to the lobby which was nice considering I had a decent amount of stuff to carry, with the dog on a leash. The elevator door was so small, I could barely fit through it with my things, which I thought was strange.There were no smoking signs printed and taped up everywhere, but the place smelled like a bar. I was happy to see there was a fridge and microwave in the room and that was very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the linens and towels were clean other than cigarette burns on the comforter cover. The room did not smell like smoke though. I was on the 3rd floor and opened up the windows to get some fresh air, and there wasn't a screen on one and when I went to close them in the evening, the one without the screen wouldn't close completely, and neither of them locked, which was unnerving. I tried to wash my hands and there was no hot water in the sink. When I went to take a shower after a long day of travel, there was no hot water there, like you could turn it to hot water and it just gurgled, and nothing came out. That was close to the most upsetting part. I did not contact the front desk because I was too exhausted to either move rooms or sit there while someone tried to fix it. Other than traffic noise, the room was pretty quiet
