Front desk was extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are not horrible, they have an updated furniture but flooring was already getting damaged and warping. The exterior was horrible. There were homeless people sleeping outside the rooms on the bottom floor. When I arrived at night there were a ton of homeless hanging out by the exit of the hotel. Overall price was two hundred dollars per night which for the quality I feel was extremely high. I’ve stayed at motel 6 for cheaper and probably nicer grounds.

Won’t stay here again

This place is not in a good part of town and bares little resemblance to the photos on this site. Had accurate photos been used, I would have been ready for the drug addicts and prostitutes loitering in the parking lot, bed sheets and blankets with burn holes in them, and a stained bathroom that looks like someone gutted a large fish in the bathtub.
