Bad experience
Cons:

This hotel will do its best to make your stay stressful and exhausting. I booked a room for me and my friend, provided my ID, and signed all the required confirmation documents. My friend also presented his own ID , and everything was properly verified.

However, when I tried to leave the hotel to buy a few items do my work , the front desk guy named “Max” told me that I was not allowed to leave the room and that if I did, my friend must check out !!!? . This was completely unreasonable and highly unprofessional. We had complied with all of the hotel’s requirements, yet we were treated as if we had done something wrong.

The entire experience was frustrating and unpleasant due to the poor treatment and lack of respect shown to guests. If you are looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay, I recommend choosing another hotel.

Cheap but beware
Pros:

The location was decent in regards to being close to area restaurants and attractions but the neighborhood is considered not a good area. The staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

The room was in bad condition, a hole in the shower ceiling, and the painted tub was peeling. Only 2 pillows per bed. Found a dirty washcloth in the shower. No tissues in the room, the provided wall attached shampoos, hand soaps, etc were empty. The lobby and parking lot reeked of weed but the room did not which was good.

A place to sleep if you’re in a pinch.
Pros:

The staff was friendly

Cons:

It’s not in the best area. It’s somewhere to lay your head for the night and take off in the morning. It would just help a bit if the walls were wiped down and the dust is wiped off the headboards, or you didn’t have to question whether you should wear socks or shoes when you walk around.
