The staff was very friendly. The location was very close to downtown, which was where we wanted to spend our time. Our reservation was for a Queen size bed but our bed was definitely a full size. My boyfriend is a big guy so it was difficult to get comfortable on the smaller bed.

Place is cheap and you get what you pay for. I can say they didn't have roaches. That's the plus, other than the price. No blanket. We ended up buying alcohol and sprayed everything down.

Cleanliness is a major issue here. Dust is everywhere. Often sinks are clogged and you have to ask for cleaning, which they should do after previous guests left and new are to come

I knew this was going to be a budget motel. What I didn't know was that the (sand paper) towels and anything else was released very carefully. I booked for 3 people and when I went to get a third towel I was asked to return a dirty one in order to get a clean one. No ice bucket available, so there was a sign on the ice machine to not use the cups. (There was only 1-4 coffee cups next to the broken Keurig machine in the lobby at any given time. There was trash piled up next to the office. I found an open drink pouch stuck to the floor next to the bed between the bed and the wall and the floor was sticky. Raise your rates and provide a decent hotel room for the masses. I'm still checking for bed bugs.

Find someplace else to stay

This place is horrible, the room is disgustingly dirty, you can hear the dirt crunching under your feet when you walk on the flood, I don't recommend not wearing shoes your feet will be black as coal, management is disgustingly rude, they do not clean the room unless you have checked out so you have to dump your own trash wash your own floors, you have to go to the office and get your towels from them or trash bags, flies and bugs was even a dead cockroach in room because there's cracks in the door, There was hair in the shower stall upon check-in, the bedsheets are disgusting dirty and all burn holes, the chair for the desk is worn, the toilet seat is disgusting, I don't know why anybody would wanna stay here, the room barely has hot water, no smoke or carbon monoxide detectors absolutely nothing nice to say about the place, oh and the kicker is if you complain management threatens to call the police on you, room was booked for two nights because but because it was so disgusting I wanted to leave called Hotels.com they talk to the management but management refused to refund my payment for the night so I had no choice but to stay in this disgusting room
