Perfect affordable place to stay! It is such a convenient location within walking distance of many nearby businesses, friendly staff, clean room with a BALCONY that I was not expecting. Noisy road is my only complaint, and that’s the price you pay for being so close to everything, so it’s worth it in my opinion! I would recommend staying here .

Lots of stuff close by: shops, foods, highway access, etc. Dead insects and other debris around the room. Drains in the room need to be cleaned. Most surfaces had to be wiped down when we got there. Headboard of the bed is sticky from cleaning residue.

The room smelt like straight up old cigarette smoke and there was a burn hole in the comforter as well as stains on the sheets. The room itself was overall dirty and then I had to slam the door just to get it to actually shut. Then at night there was people shouting nearby and random people/homeless people walking around the parking lot.
