Christian was very welcoming and helpful. Older hotel but well maintained and clean. No real dining options nearby. Good value.

Staff was very friendly and room was pretty decent but there was an abandoned restaurant pretty much on property full of squatters. Also many sirens racing by throughout the night. Did not feel like the safest location.

We had so many issues with this hotel. The outside of the hotel has a homeless community unfortunately. The check in process was fine, getting into the room, the fire alarm kept beeping so we called the staff to change it. The next morning there were cops outside arresting someone. Later that night at 1am the fire alarm went off because someone was doing something, not even 30 minutes later we heard banging on someone’s door we thought it was someone trying to get into their room but they didn’t stop, after a minute we heard the police yell that it was their last chance to open up the door before they broke it down, they proceeded to kick the door down, the got into that room and fought the person inside, taking them in cuffs. 30 mins after that we started to hear a woman screaming, she was yelling at the police about something. At that point it was 2hours into this mess the police took them away, we felt unsafe due to it now being the 2nd time the police were involved. overall the hotel not great. The customer service is okay

Upset at myself for not doing more research about this facility. When we arrived, there were homeless people and trash everywhere. There were 2 shady guys walking around the property, including along the walkways next to the rooms. There was no security staff, only a megaphone between 1am and 5am telling them it's illegal to loiter on the property. The sheets were disgusting. Had hairs all over them from previous guest, I'm assuming, on every layer of bedding. There were stains in the linens and drapes. There were dead roaches on the bathroom floor when we arrived. The closet smelled like weed. Turning on the wall unit smelled like someone blew cigarette smoke into it in an effort to vent the room. Overall this was a horrible facility at which I did not feel safe or clean

Clean rooms, not so good area
The front desk staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Our room was located upstairs closer to the street but the noise isn't what bothered me. The most disgusting and disturbing part of this trip was all the homeless people hanging around the parking lot at all hours. They literally have their stuff everywhere even placing their items in parking spots. There is security that patrols the area and they do their best to keep the loitering under control. It was somewhat disturbing and disruptive to our sleep hearing security through the intercom threatening those in the parking lot. Our room was clean, housekeeping is wonderful and does a great job of maintaining the rooms. The bed in our room was old and uncomfortable and sheets stained with what seemed to be blood.Honestly can't say I'll be back as my young children were exposed to people using drugs out in the open, people fighting and yelling etc. would rather pay more for a safer cleaner place .

The hotel is not the Econo Lodge you expect. They reinvest in property. Mattresses are in good shape. Lot was redone. Same team member has been there years. I normally stay at Hamptons, but not when Im there. This is a good place for us.

Worst hotel in life.
The bed was dirty with food bran, the furniture was not cleaned in time or even the dust because it was taken out, in the bathroom there was hair from other guests and the dryer when I took it out of place I dropped blonde hair from the dryer and I have black hair. The sink in the room was all dirty as if it had not been cleaned for at least two months and the air conditioning to be dealt with left the room full of very strong mold that we had to turn it off because we could barely cope with the dust in the room and the dust accumulated in the room.

Not recommended….
Front desk was nice and friendly. The room smelled sterile like a hospital and not warm at all like photo. Bath floor was dirty. Tge area was ghetto with street walkers & possible drug activity. Checked in and out within 30 minutes. It was also further out of the area we were visiting. Would not recommend.

Horrible
The pool was dirty, there was barely any warm water, the bath tub was dirty, there were cigarette holes in the blankets and there where people sitting outside with their belongings under the stairs and at night there were people sleeping under the stairs. The person at the front office gave us an email to voice our concern and send pictures but during checkout he denied our concerns and now refuses to issue a refund when the app I booked through called them. I got the run around and it's frustrating. Not the best area sketchy

Disappointing compared to reviews
Neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at night and the parking lot was full of people hanging, including drinking 6-packs of beer on their hood. Rooms were very basic and clean. Exterior halls and areas felt dirty with some litter. Windows only hand black out curtain option so you either had zero privacy or zero natural light
