Staff was nice but the location and overall appeal of this lodging is questionable. Cheap overnight lodging for an individual but definitely not a place where I would feel safe bringing my family or a coworker. Does not have the amenities or appeal, can hear people in other rooms around you. Not even sure if there is WIFI but I did not get a password at check in and did not want to walk outside at night to go ask the staff for it. I think it is what it is, cheap lodging.
This place was a complete s... hole. It was a war zone outside. The inside was disgusting to look at. It reeked of stale cigarette smoke. I could not even stay in the room. I drove the two and a half hours home instead of spending a night in this dump. Stay away from this place.
I do not recommend this. It is nasty, dirty, smells very bad and a lot of street people outside smoking drugs.
Photos are not real, rooms do not look like that.
In the hood. Like hood hood. But staff got you if you ask for a room in the back away from the base heads. Front desk dudes are chill. Dont bring your girl.

Staff was horrible and kicked us to street in bittercold weather after purse was stolen. And wouldnt wait to comfirm booking.. had to rebook doubble price and get screamed att as we walkwd back into hotel w new reservation had ploice threats untill staff who couldnr speak english finnaly understood us and saw we paid twicw finnal shoewd us to room
Upon reaching i was told they did not accept reservations after i made one..on top of that its a trap hotel..drug addicts and prostitutes has taven over this place..now the room was dirty especially the bathroom..the amount of dirt that covered the tub..couldn't even shower..toilet was nasty...i recommend not staying there if you want comfortability and cleanliness also without a place full of addicts and prostitute s.
When I checked in, I noticed it looked kind of sketchy. And about midnight I heard people walking around the parking lot. It was a bunch of homeless people looking in and underneath cars. I informed the front desk and he said they’re harmless. There was no way I could stay there so I left within 30 minutes of arrival
