Hands down if you’re just looking for a place without any of the over the top expectations because the vacation you’re looking for is somewhat filled with more simplicity than I would say this is the place for you. Had a very easy and simple check-in process. Simple no hassle card key to the room. And as wonderful, clean and plain property to enjoy on my vacation. I am most definitely recommending this place to anyone who is looking for convenience, and once again without anything extra…

Our one night stay was miserable! The beds have no box spring so they lay on top of a metal bed frame that makes noise for even the smallest movement! It was impossible to get any sleep.

The sheets were dirty, pillows so cheap and worn, and it was so noisy you could hear anything happening outside of the room. I loved the fact that my pet could stay in room with me but even he was uncomfortable with all the noises outside.

Staff in the front was nice. Property needs updating. Beds are uncomfortable. Bunk beds couldn't be slept on because they weren't sturdy. Floor was dirty a lot of dust. Overall they need to work on their cleaning detail. Homeless do wonder around area!
