(I believe remotes from other rooms coming through to my TV) staff barged in on us twice . Would knock and quickly type in code and try to open our room door ! Just unprofessional and dirty . I would like my money back

I've stayed in this facility several times and this time it was not what it used to be. The paint on the walls was peeling, mold in the shower, holes in the ceiling, uneven floorboards, no desk area, no soap at the sink. There was garbage on the floor next to the cans and just overall didn't seem like the place was being kept up. Really disappointed.

Looks like it was remodeled on a budget so purely aesthetic. Floor paneling was coming loose, bathroom had no ventilation and had mold in the window ceil. Otherwise comfortable bed and safe grounds.

Really terrible hotel. Can stay in much better places for similar price. Beds were extremely broken in and uncomfortable, my neck and back were killing me after the little bit of sleep I was able to get. Manager extremely unhelpful. Can hear highway from rooms. Shower curtain not long enough to block water from spilling onto bathroom floor. Overall would not recommend.

Nobody on site for this checkin. Had a video screen asking for my I.D. and credit card and the person had a foreign accent. I was not comfortable with the unusual arrangement and will never stay at this Hotel. We went to another normal hotel.
