Check-In staff is great, the morning house keeping lady would not stop knocking until you answered - though I had to yell through the door that I didn’t need service. The bedding, pillows, upkeep, and cleanliness of this hotel is what I would expect to see in a brothel; motel like at best.

Older property but great for budget minded travelers who do not need anything fancy, especially for the construction group. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Stayed almost 3 weeks while on project and multiple restaurants within walking or short drive. Stayed at other low budget places in area and this has been the best one.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We did not end up staying. The first room we were given the bed was broken, and you could barely open the bathroom door because it hit the toilet. The second room there were pubic hairs in the bathtub and in the bedding. The blankets were covered in cigarette burns and were just dirty and covered in stains. There was no way I would sleep in that room. The person in the office told me I could get a refund on the app which was not the case. We found a much better hotel and had a wonderful night.
