It was a short stay for the 4th. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The deposit was reasonable and the price affordable even for a (neat) homeless person with nowhere to go on the 4th.

I go to check in and was told they need a $50 cash deposit. So someone who doesnt use cash i had to pay another $2.75 to use there ATM. If they want you pay $50 cash it should be advertised on the booking app. Get to the room pretty spacious. The heater is very loud and makes noise even when off. I like to take a bath and there was no plug in the tub. Needs more outlets in the room to charge. No clock in room either.

Overall, the stay was okay. They met our needs, however, the place was not well maintained. They never cleaned our room while we were there. The lid to the toilet belonged to another toilet bowl. The shower was dirty and had scum from lack of cleaning. it was close to the airport and shops. the location was great. But the place can benefit from a good cleaning and an update.

There are no words that can describe how awful this place is. The only nice thing I can say is the attendant at the front desk was nice. Other than that, stay clear unless you’re looking for deplorable situations happening at the hotel and a sketchy place to sleep.

There were bugs in the room. The shower curtain was moldy. The bathroom stunk. There are a limited number of electrical outlets. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PLUG IN A CPAP MACHINE. I am not a picky person, so take my suggestion, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are plenty of hotels in the area. This is the worst place, in the US, that I have stayed in.

This place was inexpensive, but absolutely no frills. very dated, in need of multiple repairs, and dirty. I would not stay here again.
very dirty light switches
holes in the wall
chain missing from door
cracked, dirty and old outlets

Sticky carpets, peeling paint, mold stained caulk and a combination shower/bathtub without a stopper is just a shower you need to step over a wall to get into. Do any hotels clean and make up your room anymore? This one didn't.
