We tried to check in 2 hour early and I was charged an extra $30 per room . The rooms were dirty and old looking . The bathroom door didn’t even close , didn’t have a knob . The sink sprayed water when you open it up . The tube in both rooms were clogged up . This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been too . One room smelled like smoke and it had a no smoking sign .

Would not recommend. Room was not nice. Whole vibe of the place was sketchy. I almost left because I wasn't sure my door was locking properly. Cheap but not worth it.

Location good, not much else

Had an event nearby, so the location was near-perfect for a 1-night stay. Booked an inside room but still had to go outside and up outdoor stairs in drizzle to reach. I think elevator was out of order. Still has a covid-era setup with a tiny slot for your card/id. Not likely to stay there again 7-11 right next door, which we used for breakfast. Bed and room were OK. Staff was friendly

Place is run down and old. Bathroom is disgusting sink water did not run down bathroom definitely needs a cleaning and painting for sure and door kept sticking. Towels and sheets did not look clean and white as should be. Never drag there again. Very disappointed.

Booked room 202 on 6/14/25 when we checked in room was dirty, trash left from previous guest and had a very odd stench and after trying to circulate and air out the room for a hour and a half it didn’t go away when so we checked out. They didn’t give us a refund but they do have a policy about charging 20 dollars an hour for every hour you check in early or late but refused to give us our refund because we had the room for a hour and a half even tho we could’ve went off they’re policy and took the 30 dollar hit. The pictures that are advertised are not at all the same as the condition or the building it’s very worn down paint stripping off walls, cracks in the walls and the parking lot turns into a literal lake when it rains. They should advertise this as a motel 6 so that people are miss guided when booking a room here.
