I stayed in this fleabag several years ago and was horrified when I drove up and realized it was the same place. Thinnest towels I’ve ever scene, splotches on the floor and night stand, badly caulked bathtub. No bugs at least, but I hope I never end up here again

The room was clean and comfortable. We checked in very late at night, and the man who helped us at the front desk was friendly and helpful. We slept well and our stay was pleasant.

Perfect for a working man

First impression seemed kinda sketchy just looking at the building at night. Walked in front desk lady was extremely welcoming and friendly. Booked me in right away, 2 minutes tops. Room was kinda ran down but i think the price was fair. Everything worked the tub was kinda clogged and walls were thin. Seen a couple roaches but everything seemed clean except the walls.

The overall appearance was run down. The room I stayed in smelled. Air conditioning grills were dirty. Wall, doors, and furniture were smudged with dirt and grease.
