The only reason I stayed was that the sheets and the mattresses seemed to be in good shape—good enough not to lose $150 and the pain to go to a new hotel. Otherwise, there was hot water but the room was kept in hideous shape.

Would not recommend. Room was not nice. Whole vibe of the place was sketchy. I almost left because I wasn't sure my door was locking properly. Cheap but not worth it.

I have stayed here before because of its proximity to my family. Sadly it has become run down. Our room was fairly comfortable, but the bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and there wasn’t a handle on the inside. I didn’t take pictures.

We tried to check in 2 hour early and I was charged an extra $30 per room . The rooms were dirty and old looking . The bathroom door didn’t even close , didn’t have a knob . The sink sprayed water when you open it up . The tube in both rooms were clogged up . This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been too . One room smelled like smoke and it had a no smoking sign .

Non smoking room reeked of cigarettes, the bathroom was missing the door handle, and the door did not shut anyway, the sink spits water horizontally out, you get soaked trying to use it. The place was overall dirt and looks like there has been no maintenance for years.Looks nothing like the pictures on your site.
