Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s not fancy, but it’s affordable, quiet, and clean. Stayed there a week. Housekeeping took out the trash and made the bed every day. Staff is friendly and attentive. It looks like some people may use the hotel (it’s really like a motel instead) as long term housing, but there were no disturbances or other issues. I’d stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms weren’t dirty but quite aged. The beds were not comfortable at all and made a loud sound with any slight move. The staff was friendly. If you need a place to stop for the night, it’s not bad but u don’t recommend staying more than a day.

The room was okay. Pretty clean. Mattress was old but soft and comfortable. Air conditioner worked very well. None of the furniture matched, which is not a big deal. Staff was nice. Pool was filled in with dirt and looked like they may be planting flowers.
