There were no body towels. I spilled water and used a hand towel to wipe it, the towel turned blak from the dirty floor. I arrived in the daylight (6 pm) and the door was blocked. I had to get my key through the night window. The room was disgusting!

Great Value

This place was exactly what we needed. We were staying 1 night before the eclipse and just needed a place to crash. The beds were clean, the room was clean and we had no complaints except for thin comforters but we just pulled the 2nd one from the other bed. They also had a mini fridge, coffee pot and microwave which is becoming an uncommon thing. Would stay here again. Be ware of their intense speed bump in the parking lot. Even going less than 1mph my poor car's frame got a jolt.

There was no Lobby - we had to talk to the person through the security window. That's disrespectful. The lighting fixture wasn't working and the room was not well cleaned.

This place was very cheap but you get what you pay for. I booked for two nights only stayed one and still paid for both nights. Do not book this place cause you will never get your money back from Expedia.

Save your money

Upon arriving to hotel, there were several transients in the parking lot smoking, what I do not know. Don't know when they left nor if they were told to leave. For the price paid, I expected better accommodations.
