The room was basic, yet clean and the beds were comfortable. Great value for the price. I would stay there again for sure. One part that could be improved would be the smell of marijuana that was persistent in the hallways and even our room.

Young lady who checked us in was very nice. But when we got to the room there was someone else’s stuff in there. Property is run down and there were some odd looking people around. It’s ok for a quick night’s stay. I wouldn’t recommend it for women traveling alone.

The pictures on the listing are misleading. We ended up going to Walmart to purchase air freshener, towels and a few other items. The people below us bought a mattress topper and ask us if we were rearranging the whole room and all I was doing was lightly moving a chair across the floor. So, if you are just looking for a bed with four walls and a roof you will be fine.
