Pros:

I like the front desk staff for both day and night. I had a pleasant and simple experience with both shifts.

Cons:

Cold coffee, no real fixing or anything so could be a lot type of occupant even though it’s a good thing kind of secure with the entry using the breakfast pass awarded during check-in. Cleaning cleaning staff seem to have no idea what’s going on. Very disappointing on hospice care.

My day was all right. There is some odds and ends about this place but for the price it’s definitely something you get w
Pros:

Some good traits about staying in this hotel is that the staff was pretty nice. We didn’t have an issue with other tenants. In the rooms were not as bad as other people said in the comments.

Cons:

Some stuff that we didn’t like about staying at this hotel is that when we got there check-in was not until three and we arrived at 1 o’clock when I was told over the phone that we can clock in at any time. The pool was closed and was not open the whole time that we were there but that could be because it rained. It is very close to the highway so keep that in mind you’re going to hear an ambulance and police and other traffic. The toilet stayed clogged the whole time we were there in the shower dripped all night long. The AC does not work as good as I thought it would. The walls are dirty and there is just dirt everywhere.
