The property is old,cleaned as it can be, the conditions fit the price. For a budget travelers, I recommend the hotel.

Stayed 1 night

First off I called the hotel directly just before I paid for my booking through Hotels.com to ensure I could check in upon arrival between midnight and 1 am on the day of my reservation for July 21. I was assured repeatedly that I could check in at 12;30-1 am in the morning instead of having to wait until 3PM in the afternoon. I even ASKED if I needed to book a second night....and they said I would be fine to check in early. Front desk person was RUDE- said I could NOT check in because my reservation was for July 21. I said it is the 21st. After I explained I spoke to someone at the hotel ( I missed getting Her name!) The front desk clerk further stated when I asked if I could pay for another night, that she could not even charge my card. I asked why not, She said it was because I booked through a third party. I said what can we do? I have no car in which to go somewhere else and I need to get some sleep. She charged me $83.99 for half a day. Snarky woman was barely cordial. The hotel itself was run down, The public bathroom was out of order. The ice maker was BROKEN! Room was meh. Bed covers were old, thin and had holes in them. Curtains were dingy and stained. Paint was newer but poorly done with missed spots and scrapes. Bathroom had 80's tile with mildew all throughout the grout lines, The tub was supposed to be white but was so dingy and stained it was gray in the bottom. The vent in bathroom was hanging by one screw. The ice maker was a real issue since I'm diabetic.

Stay away!!!! Do not let the pictures fool you. It is basically a halfway house. Front desk staff didnt greet us. There was no "ill be with you on a minute " nothing for almost 10 full minutes. The door and hallway we were told to use to get to our room was dark and scary. The room smelled of mildew. The toilet leaked there was water all over the bathroom floor. There was mold on the AC vents, roach eggs and rat feces. We immediately left. Still waiting for our refund 2 months later.
