Inexpensive, I accidentally stayed there twice. First time was notable because staff member walked into the room while I was nude and tub would not hold water - busted stopper. Second time busted tub stopper again, door had safety locks missing, graffiti on walls inside room, and Mexicans playing loud music in parking lot until midnight. But over all it was clean and friendly. Worth the price? Debatable.

I needed a few days away to decompress and I'm so glad I choose this location. The man who greeted me and checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. He has an amazing professionalism and quite the sense of humor. It was so very apprecited especially since I was just trying to escape for a few days. The room was nice and clean. A great value also! The lady the next day was super friendly. I felt very welcome by both of them. I will definitely stay here again when i need a break from life.

The nicest thing about this hotel was the parking. I was checked in by maintenance because the front desk clerk was outside smoking on her phone. The room was gross. Multiple broken things around the room, beer bottles next to the bed, paint literally coming off the walls. Breakfast was non-existent. How they could even say they served breakfast is a joke. Will never stay here again that's for sure.
