For a one night stay in a pinch, it was perfect. The room was clean, the shower was nice, amenities including breakfast were provided and the staff was good to us as well. The area may look sketchy because it is near the highway, but overall I’d totally stay here again and recommend anyone who is looking to stay for a night or two to do the same.

Great room. Just Wish they had a microwave in the room or ice machine closer. Like it was only on the 8th floor, other than that great

Upon arrival, we noticed fleas on the bed that must have been left by a previous guest’s dog. I showed a video to the woman working the front desk, and she immediately moved us. She was phenomenal, and super kind. I hated that only the sheers opened and closed, and not the regular curtains. It was impossible to block out the city light. The breakfast was better than expected.
