Liked: Cleanliness
The management is really conscientious about keeping it clean and quiet. I’ve stayed several times this year and always consistent.
I was worried about the location, but the room was clean, comfortable, and sufficient for my needs, and the staff was kind and respectful. It was a good place for me

Rooms were very clean and staff was extremely nice
The room was clean. One sheet had a small tear. Things appear either worn or newly updated. It was much quieter than anticipated and on a Saturday night. I was surprised about the $100 refundable deposit. Overall, a good place to rest.

The property was generally clean and it was fine for our purposes, but the area is shady. All the corners surrounding the property are filled with prostitutes.
I recommend this hotel to anyone! I was on a budget so I was expecting much from this place but the service here was amazing! We only stayed a night but after check out they gave us a granola bar for the road haha like I said I wasn’t expecting a whole lot for the location and price but the people here work hard and love their customers would come back:)
Overall it's been a nice stay. The area is a little shady feeling. On my walk back from the bus I had someone try to stop me to ask for drugs.
The property is clean and looks presentable. My room wasn't quite ready when I showed up at 4pm. The man behind the check in desk was kind enough to run and check on my room as well. It only took about 5 more minutes before I was able to get to my room.
