This room was to much for what you got but we didn’t have much of a choice. Room had an old smoke smell upon arrival. They are in desperate need of new beds. When my spouse or I would roll over you can hear the springs in the bed squeezing and making noise. There were holes in the walls where something once hung. The AC was loud. If you have a choice I’d pick somewhere else to stay. Would not stay here again.

Shady place. We were only there for two hours and then we left. A lady who looked like a drug addict talked to me just outside our room while I was unpacking my car. Two cop cars showed up to the lobby looking for someone. I asked them if this was a decent hotel or is it shady? They both said it’s shady and they would not stay here! After that, someone came up to our door and was jiggling the handle to see if it was locked! On top of that, my room was really hot and uncomfortable. All this happened in less than two hours. I was not comfortable staying at this place with my wife and young child.
