Worth the money.
We were bit skeptical about the stay after reading the reviews. But for one night stay it wasn't bad. We were checked in by very friendly duo at reception desk and they upgraded us to suite without asking. They also assured us the parking is very safe for our car. The room was not bad, bed was comfortable, linens clean, the towels were nice smelling and clean. The room in general showed wear and tear but then we didn't pay top dollars for this one. The parking lot was very well lit so some of the reviews regarding car unsafe wasn't true. I think it was worth the money.

There was a domestic incident hapening for more than 30 minutes in the parking lot outside me sliding glass door that management should have resolved alot sooner to protect the peace of the other tenants and the integrity of the hotel. The towels/wash clothes are very dingy and should be replaced.

Arrived at the property, noticed a lot of sketchy people walking around the parking lot police patrolling the parking lot. The staff was friendly and helpful. Got up to the room and the room smelled like mold and stale cigarettes. The room was clean for as clean as it could be but the smell alone Made you feel uncomfortable that the door coming in to the hotel was falling off its hinges and the people walking around there looked like they were on drugs or something. I felt so uncomfortable. I actually slid chairs in front of the door. . in the future, I think I’ll just continue driving.

This was not a good hotel, the hotel on the outside that you can see from the road it looks fine. The hallways smell like pot, the rooms are not only outdated but not clean, water stains on the ceilings, show ceiling fall apart, stains on the chair the room, broken arm rest of the desk chair, hair in the bathtub, mattress so soft. They have security in the parking lot at dusk to watch the cars. Since it is a pet friendly hotel, there is dog poop all over the grass, the hotel provides plastic bags Conveniently placed, but the guests are not using them and the hotel staff is not cleaning it up. There was a random hotel laundry basket with wheels outside the property. The staff was nice and friendly.
