The hotel room we stayed in was a smoking room and wasn't very nice overall inside. Also hotel does not offer complimentary breakfast in the morning either. Only the location of this hotel was good but nothing more than that Thanks

Service people were generally very kind and helpful. When we returned to pick up forgotten items, they provided them efficiently. The inside doorlock was missing, so that needs repair. After I'd checked with the main office in the morning to extend our time by 1/2 hour, another man came to the door and persisted in telling me I had to do more by going to the office, even though I kept telling him I had already done so. Fearing him, I finally had to close the door on him.

Terrible. Beware. Pictures on internet are not the same as actual rooms. I will gladly share pictures if there is a way.
Light fixture with all kinds of bugs and something unknown in it.
Mold completely around the tub along with dirt. Everything in disrepair.
More mold, rust, dirt and a faucet that dribbled all night long.
Flooring that is missing, has holes and finish is non existent. Also water on the floor by refrigerator.

Check in was pretty easy and fast. Room wasn’t far from check in. Room was pretty clean. Toilet worked but also didn’t. Shower was good. For the price the room is good. The only problem was getting my deposit back the first night. I had to literally question the guy to get it back. He gave me a receipt that explained nothing and told me money is back on the card but wasn’t. So I walked back in and said hey man I need something better that explains I am getting my deposit back like you said. Gave me another receipt then I said. This receipt doesn’t show or state the deposit I gave you. He then manually released it and I instantly got my $50 deposit back. It’s almost as he was trying to see if I was a fool and just left. After, that night. He has been more simple with me. I would still stay here if there is no other options
