For the price, it’s good enough to sleep in if you’re very tired, but the environment is not the best. It truly does feel like a motel. Bedsheets are not clean. There’s no exhaust in the bathroom. The toilet does not flush properly. Again, it is what it is for the price.

The area is nice, quiet, actually the motel was the lousiest building in the neighborhood. The room was damp, visibly worn out, scarred, the door full of cigarette burns, the sheets clean but stained, the AC very noisy, only the functioning bathroom made it viable. The staff was nice, but the residents did not give a good impression. All in all, never want to go there again.

Do not stay here! When I arrived the police was outside investigating a disturbance. Then inside it’s ghetto AF. And ALL the rooms smell like cigarette smoke. After I told them I couldn’t stay due to mainly my asthma, they would not refund me the 2 night stay. Please do not stay here and Expedia this shouldn’t even be an option on your list.

I did not really like anything. It was a place to sleep is the best I can come up with. I had to have my door card rescanned every day. The room had bugs, The cable was very limited. Only one small table and one very uncomfortable chair. The tub was very smooth so taking a shower was dangerous. The site has only one cart. The air conditioner was noisy and did not work very well. The mattress was not good.

The property is infested with rodents I found I wrote it in my sneaker with a grape. They were climbing on the counter, their holes all in the walls in the bathrooms. This place should be closed down. It’s infested and rodents. It’s falling apart and they’re still charging people cause they can get away with it. I mentioned something to management in the staff and they move to another room only to find another rodent crawling around in my laptop. I will post videos and pictures of these. The place is dirty and they don’t seem to care who stays there. Even while I was there, a man fell on the steps with the liquor ball and broke his leg. It was literally something out of the nightmare stay at this place. I asked for a refund and I was told I couldn’t because I already switched rooms so I am posting what I seen during my stay and calling the health department.
