Worth the money.
We were bit skeptical about the stay after reading the reviews. But for one night stay it wasn't bad. We were checked in by very friendly duo at reception desk and they upgraded us to suite without asking. They also assured us the parking is very safe for our car. The room was not bad, bed was comfortable, linens clean, the towels were nice smelling and clean. The room in general showed wear and tear but then we didn't pay top dollars for this one. The parking lot was very well lit so some of the reviews regarding car unsafe wasn't true. I think it was worth the money.

Not clean
I have never left a bad review, but this hotel was awful. Our room smelled like mildew and old smoke. The bathroom was dirty and needed some repairs. The other people staying there seemed down and out and all in all it was a pretty depressing stay. The only positive was that the man at the front desk was very nice.

RUDE AGENT
