From the outside it looks OK. Way downhill after that. Stairway completely filthy. Hallway/room carpeting & furnishing WAY out-of-date and worn down. Blanket had worn patched and tears in it. Multiple "hotel" rooms had people LIVING in them. This so called 'hotel' should be pulled off your website. If my wife or daughter were alone, I would NOT have them stay here. I am NOT happy at all with what happened here. (I have pictures)

This place is in terrible condition. Looks like they haven't done a refresh on the rooms sense the 90s. The pool is permanently closed and used for storage and trash. There are people who live here as either a weekly or monthly rate and most of them are trouble, used needles laying around outside and they are digging through the butt buckets regularly. The drive way is in such disrepair that you cant drive in a straight line unless you want to break you car. The potholes are deep enough you could bottom out your car easily. The one redeeming thing about this place is the gal that checked me in. She was amazing and helpful. I was with my elderly mother who walks with a cane and we were on put on the second floor (no elevators) when I booked and she saw me helping my mom and asked me to bring her my keys and she put us in a first floor room.

It’s definitely not the Hilton but the price was the best in the area. The room was clean, the staff is friendly and the TV & AC both work. What more do you need in a room you only need for sleeping?! I would definitely stay here again 👍
