We were pleasantly surprised with our stay, given the affordability. The check-in was a tad concerning when the clerk seemed to have trouble finding our reservation but eventually it was located. The room was nicer than expected. Cool, clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency back home and they were very sympathetic. We were grateful and would return without question.

This hotel is a good option if you are on a budget. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ronald at the front desk was the best. He is an expert at service and making guests feel at ease. Would stay here again.

All was good, the only negative is there was too much pubic hair in the shower from the previous people. When they clean the shower they got to make sure they rinse those down. But everything else was really nice and clean and quiet. Thanks!

When we got to our room there was a slight musty odor, but once we turned down the AC and turned up the fan it improved. There was some mold in shower, but would stay here again.

Not my type of hotel

We just spent 1 night here, the breakfast was scarce, the milk was frozen (my kids weren't able to have milk in their cereal). We were just looking to spend the night, so it met its purpose, but it is not a place where I'd stay again, or longer.

Property area well kept, easy to find parking, plenty of towels and soaps in room, and friendly hotel staff. However my room could definitely use improvements. Upon entering the room, a strong odor of cigarette smoke would hit you and it would be more noticeable when a/c fan was off or turned down, Both queen beds dipped near the headboard which made it difficult to sleep comfortably. Floor needed to be mopped and swept better there was a collection of dead bugs under the a/c unit and bottom of my feet would get black from just walking in the room, no hot water in kitchen, bathroom sink nor shower - it stayed cool or lukewarm, can hear all noises clear as day from outside.
