I didn't decide to call it a night until 3a.m and 5 mins after I got into the bed I quickly got right back out so mad I didn't know what to do. My skin was itching and crawling because of bedbugs!! I thought it was just my mind because it was so fast that my entire body was itching but it's because there is an infestation. I don't talk bad about hotels but this needs fixed

The tub was black, the toilet was nonstop running and didn't flush. The ac kept rattling. The $100 deposit wasn't known until day of. Was told that I had to pay 30 extra for a late check out, which was only an extra hour. All around, not very great.

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. The bathroom had multiple places where the paint had dripped down the pockmarked walls. The toilet was built too close to the sink so the lid couldn’t fit on the tank. The sink drain backed up with minimal amounts of water. It wasn’t a great experience.

Clean, Comfortable, Safe
The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place
