The price was extremely affordable for the night, and I was totally fine with the dated building and the unappealing area. However, there was no reason for the room to be dirty and have splatters of an unknown substance all over the walls. The toilet had also not been cleaned.

Liked: Staff & service

Reasonable for the price

It was right next to the massive freeway and loud as all get out. For the price it was good, but the bed was like sleeping on a morgue slab. There was not even a continental breakfast but hey. The bathroom was less than clean. For $51 it served its purpose and the guy who ran it was really nice.
