We were there just for the night so I wasn't needing or expecting much. We didn't get much. I don't understand why hotels don't take care of their properties but this place was not impressive.

Fine if you are looking for a bed and a shower. Felt safe. Staff was nice. For an inexpensive hotel it is everything you expect. Bathroom was in need of alot of work. But the water was hot in the shower toilet and sink worked fine. Sheets and towels were clean. Felt I got what I paid for. Would stay again if needed

It's in need of remodeling and cleaning. The outer doors don't lock. The bathroom smelled funny. At least the mattress was comfortable. It wasn't a good value.

Room smells like cat urine. Toilet didn't work correctly. They charged me an extra $100 at check-in after paying in advance for my room. The bed was very uncomfortable. We woke up with bites all over us so there is probably bed bugs.

This is probably the worst hotel on this planet. It may as well just be a homeless shelter. Everything's sticky. The showers are disgusting. The mattresses are FILTHY. Shut this place down.
