Despite a booking error on Expedia, this place refused to even consider canceling the reservation without penalty since it wasn't my fault. Other issues with the unit: Smelled/stuffy Carpet stains throughout No light in the "balcony" Holes in the walls Incomplete paint patches Extremely tight vanity space Homeless man yelling and cursing to himself (felt unsafe)

This hotel was very dirty. Missing pieces of the baseboards. Outlets coming out of the wall, wired exposed from outlets as well as mold going on baseboards and chipped tub. Yellow shower from built up on shower mat. Very dirty and unsafe to stay in. A waste of hard earned money.

We arrived a bit early but were allowed to check-in early. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a little older but priced accordingly. The location was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Decent value for price paid. Definitely an older property and the bedspread was stained. But otherwise, pretty good bang for your buck.

Shabby and needing updating but cheap. Missing chain on the second door lock (deadbolt works tho), tub porcelain needs to be refinished or replaced, bathroom doorknob falls off. Staff are very nice and doing their best in this somewhat limited place.
