The rooms were clean. However, the grounds were always in need of cleaning. There was a lot of cigarette smoke I had to walk through at times to get to my room. The elevator worked just fine. For the price and I would definitely stay again.

Go to the Motel 6. Its so much better. I was lucky i was travelling with two grown men. This place was terrifying, cold, the staff were rude, and they had lkmited amenities. The only upside was there were no bed bugs.

Find a different hotel!

This was the WPRST hotel i have ever stayed at! It was not a hotel, it was more like an apartment complex for a bunch of criminals. The people were loud, we hardly slept and the pictures were definately inaccurate! DO NOT STAY HERE!

It wasn’t great. Only one lamp in the room, overhead light didnt work. Lots of mold. The shower wall was broken. Smelled like cigarettes and the sheets had burn marks in them. Only one chair for the small table and all of it was dirty.

I did absolutely nothing wrong there I minded my business I paid on time. And there's a very depressing time in my life after losing my 18 year old child so in the window I displayed his memorial photo with a cross. When it's an extended stay so you are allowed to put something in the window if you want. Well the big lady in the front with the short hair and it's pink calls my room and says all the sudden I have to leave. And I said really can I ask why then she proceeds to tell me that housekeeping has asked me numerous times to remove the stuff from the window and I asked the housekeeping they said they never said that. So the lady in the front desk says this is a hotel not in art gallery. Then hangs up the phone. So as if I wasn't going through enough this lady gets a wild hair and chooses me to target. But let's other people have things in their windows. I took pictures I'll need them for evidence.

Hotel looks like it’s had some upgrades but still I. Pretty poor condition. Cops were there kicking a door in so it’s just a terrible location in the city. Just the way she goes boys and girls.
