So be aware that you were getting what you pay for in this hotel it has been somewhat remodeled to an art deco style and the staff was helpful, but check-in and out was very awkward. Somewhat pleased with the price but definitely got what I paid for that price it was average on cleanliness

Once i finally git checked into the room the accommodations and location were perfect. The virtual check-in process was frustrating. Once i finally got a live human on the phone i was checked in and could get into my room after sitting in the parking lot for 45 minutes.
