Pros:

Staff was very nice but after getting into the room, when we shut the door, cockroaches scurried out from behind the door frame. We did not stay and requested a refund but were told a refund could not be given. Ridiculous.

Pros:

The bed wasn't very good. Towels were small and light weight. Front desk evening staff - very good. A/C couldn't keep ahead of humidity. Room was clean.

Pros:

The photos online do not reflect the condition of the place. Broken windows, homeless looking people in the parking lot.. definitely sketch. I was going to give it a try but my wife refused. Said she didn't feel safe. Beware, if booking through a third party, no refunds after 4pm

Pros:

This is a budget hotel, but for the price they were offering, I would rate it as a good deal. The room was OK. The bed is comfortable. I was also glad to find the refrigerator was a little larger than some hotels, which allowed me to refreeze my ice-packs. During my stay, the ice machine was not working.

Pros:

The photos make the property look better than it was. I showed up and walked past a couple homeless looking guys, and I fully expected my car to be broken into that night, so I left and went elsewhere. The rom was non refundable, but the 60 dollars was far less than my deductible on my auto insurance for what would’ve happened overnight.

Pros:

Stained sheets, burn holes in comforter, 2x4’s locking windows. Full time residents upstairs, bathroom was acceptable . Even the towels were stained, like most other reviews I couldn’t stay in the conditions and no chance of getting a refund. One should probably look at the Google reviews for this place before booking

Pros:

They have long-term tenants upstairs that have no regard for short stays it seems the ice machine was broken the whole time we were there and you might be lucky to catch a cup of coffee in the lobby
