Didn’t have a great experience here. A lot of homeless people outside around the hotel in the parking lot. Hotel room walls were very thin and could hear conversations in the rooms next door and in the hallway. The rooms were very small and didn’t feel super clean. We experienced someone running in the halls back and forth yelling in the middle of the night.

The non smoking room smelled like smoke. I asked them to come smell upon check in. They said it was noted, and then was not refunded deposit due to them claiming the room was smoked in, even after I disputed it and reminded them of the note.
