THIS IS NOT A HOTEL
ZERO communication from the property. I had to drive to a random motel and pick up my room key there. There isn’t a receptionist area. BEWARE THIS PLACE IS FALSE ADVERTISING. Parking spots are designated and not assigned upon check in. You will risk having your vehicle towed. Found trash from the previous guests on the floor inside the hotel room. I couldn’t use the shower because it looked dirty. The bedsheets were FILTHY and the pillows had BLOOD STAINS. Thankfully I travel with my own pillows. Mattress was so springy and uncomfortable, the floor was much more comfortable. I’ve stayed in hostels around the world with better quality than this junk.

I couldn’t believe how many complaints this place has over parking. Street parking is about 6 steps away from the building… plenty of parking space around. Very spacious room with kitchen. It smelled very clean and looked clean. Rest room was clean and they even provide shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and more. Would definitely be coming back and especially for the price! Can’t beat it.

No parking without a paid permit, so you have to look for street parking. The stairwell is locked. There is no "private entrance" as the listing claims. The area is very noisy. The heating/cooling unit is also very loud, but it's not a steady sound so it doesn't work as white noise. The shower had not been cleaned. There was hair all over it. Overall a terrible place to stay.

This was probably the worst experience I have ever had! Wasn’t even able to stay there as my key once I got it didn’t work and I couldn’t get anyone to return my text or calls! I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. No one was on site and never was told I needed a parking pass nor received one horrible experience!

We spent about an hour trying to figure out check in. The hotel was not in communication with us and sent no emails. We had to go to a different location to check in which was not on my ticket.

Loved the unit itself. Must check-in at a hotel several miles away to pick up the key. Parking MUST be arranged prior to arrival, otherwise, only street parking.
