the room was smelling of smoke, even though it has a no smoking sign inside. A lot of noise throughout the night which wouldn't go down. The bed could be more comfortable for the price. Other than that the staff was very helpful and the stay was very pleasant. Good for free parking and a very short stay

Its located in a rough neighbour hood. We had to wait for someone to come to the window for quite a long time. I even called twice before someone showed up. The room was clean but there were no blankets on the bed. There was a smell in the room so i didnt want to turn down the air conditioner. So we froze trying to sleep. The bed also was not very comfortable.

Look, this place itself isn't horrible, but it's not in a really good location. Heavy prostitution and drug dealing in the area leads to rooms that smell badly regardless of how much they clean them, and a neighborhood that is not the safest. The staff themselves are nice and helpful. The rooms are actually pretty nice. It's really noisy and if you can't sleep through it this hotel isn't for you. The road it sits on is busy all night long and you will hear it all night long.

The staff was nice and available as advertised but the entire place does not have nearly enough good qualities to make up for the fact that the rooms are disgusting. It seemed fine enough on the surface until we checked the floors and mattress. The floors weren't even swept and the mattress itself looked like it was borrowed from a dumpster behind a brothel- stained and smelly. There were also clusters of black dots in all corners of the mattress just under the sheets which looked like bed bugs or signs of bed bugs to the point where we just checked out and did not sleep there. Granted, after leaving we didn't have any issues with any bed bugs, so I don't think that was the case but the fact that it even looked like that was enough to give us paranoia about it for days.

This was a very affordable and comfortable stay. Had a mini fridge and a microwave but No frills or extras. Just the necessities which was fine by me and my husband. We stayed because it was just a few miles from a Music Festival we attended. It also had a small desk and a chair. We got the king room. I only wish that it had at least one other chair so we both could have sat in a chair to eat instead of on the floor or bed but that wasn't a huge deal. The staff let us know that we have to ask for extra towels, blankets/sheets etc since we were staying a few nights in a row since they don't do daily room service. There are some scuffs here and there but that kind of stuff never bothers me but if you are a perfectionists it might. I would absolutely stay here again.

We were pleasantly surprised by the property. Our room was large and very clean. It was quiet. The area looked a little sketchy, but there were no problems. The guys at the neighboring gas station were very friendly and helpful. They have a veritable mini store behind the counter if you forget any personal items or need aspirin, toothpaste, shampoo, hairspray, etc. We needed a smoking room, and they are very hard to find. The room did not smell like stale smoke. It was very clean and very large. The staff is very friendly.
