Great stay

The outside may not look the nicest but when you walk in the rooms are very decent. The moment I opened the door I was able to smell that they had recently cleaned it and prepared it for my stay. The shower was my favorite. They had a walk in shower which looked very sleek because of the black polished tile. Everything was clean and maintained. We also had a flat tv screen mounted on the wall along with a fridge and microwave. The owner was so sweet and definitely made me feel welcomed!! Highly recommend for a cheap stay.

Nothing about this place was likeable. Stain sheets & box spring cover..shower head was held together with clear tape, shower fixture wasn’t flushed to the wall, ac unit was missing vent cover, second room they offered us wasn’t better-coachroachs, mircowave was filthy dirty and looked rusty in areas. We ended up leaving- lost one night but were able to be refunded last two days. Wish I could post pictures I took!

To say that this was the worst places that I have ever stayed, would be an understatement. Please refer to the photos taken. There are major violations within this hotel. The shower had no shower doors or curtains, the toilet had a shoe string attached to flush it. The smoke detector had wires hanging out from inside of it. Thank God my fiancee is an electrical engineering! The refrigerator was sitting on the floor and there was no microwave as advertised. We were given dirty cut up white towels to use that could barely fit around us and the room stunk. This is not a kid/family friendly place and they play games with the wifi passwords. They purposely give you the wrong password. There is one housekeeper who I assume lives at the location, she was extremely nice and that's the only good thing that I have to say about this place.

Very inexpensive and manager was friendly. Although my room had a slight smoke smell and no shower soap was available I'd stay there again because the room was available at the last minute for a bargain price.

This place is NASTY. We saw the room and literally just paid to sleep somewhere else. If you care at all about cleanliness, don’t stay here, lol. There was 0 furniture in our room, not even a trash can. 1 bed. 1 mini fridge with a microwave on top.
