There was no TV in the room, it wasn't clean. We brought blankets and pillows to cover the bed. I didn't see any bugs which is the only reason we stayed. Staff was great, easy to work with and pretty funny. I knew it wasn't going to be great by the pictures and reviews but it was booked last minute out of desperation and the place cost 1/3 or less than anything else for the weekend due to the festival so you get what you pay for... The bus stop right out front was really helpful and a huge plus. There was not many outlets in the room and they were used by the 2 lamps, microwave, and mini fridge which worked but the lamps were definitely a fire hazard.

Rooms are tolerable for one night. Expensive for what it was. Amenities are not guaranteed, and cleaning is questionable. Staff are nice and helpful.

Staff was able to help with everything I needed. Property looked like they were trying there best to restore it, just not quite there yet.

They had no room available on arrival. There was a line out the door to even get to the front desk. I canceled my reservation because they didn’t know if they could get a room in time. I honestly would avoid if possible, seemed really sketchy.

We had a leaky faucet, a nasty toilet toilet paper roll under the bed nasty used tissues in the tissue box. This place overall not the greatest for the price and wouldn’t recommend it . Also what they don’t tell u is after the price u have to pay for just the hotel u have to make another 40$ refundable deposit for incase you destroy the room or wtv and if u want to check in earlier then 3pm u have to pay a check in early fee and it’s 10$ an hour

There is a reason why when you walked in they say to cash app them the $50. There’s a reason that when you walk in to the room, it smells like smoke because when you leaving all of your stuff will be smelling like smoke just pulling up to the location it looks abandoned that should’ve told you to leave, but you cannot leave simply because it is nonrefundable at the moment that you booked so unless you’re willing to waste money and either way you’re gonna be wasting money, I had no Wi-Fi in there smell like smoke that I could not get rid of the train was so loud you can hear every single person in different room the smell I am telling you I do not smoke so the smell was so awful cockroaches. The amount of cockroaches in the room is ridiculous. They crawl on the bed. They crawl all over the floor they’re everywhere in the hotel absolute a hot mess so to summit up it smells like smoke It is covered up with cockroaches. There is no Wi-Fi the train pass every two seconds that shake the room and it is very very loud two out of 10

As soon as I opened the door the place reaked like a dog kennel. When I flicked the light switch nothing happened so I had to make my way over to the lamp near the door and tried to turn it on but it wasn't even plugged in. Neither was the ac unit. The ac was completely broken with knobs coming off in my hand the the plug had burn marks all over it. The sheets & pillowcases all had stains on it. The manager did give me a can of Febreeze for the smell & luckily I had brought a box fan with me which helped air out the room and deal with the heat. Other than that there was all kinds of large garbage outside by the stairs and in the hallways. I mean, broken water heaters, mattresses, shopping carts with broken microwaves. The whole place was just a hot mess.

Roaches all over the room. I didn’t even stay the full night after one crawled on me. I drove home on 2 hours of sleep after a music festival. The staff was great, the owner has a great personality but the rooms were atrocious.

you’re a solo female traveler don’t go here. First huge red flag was that I had to send a venmo for my security deposit. I asked if I could go get cash and was told no. I should have cancelled and left right then. Then they moved my room from the second floor to the first which is scarier for me. Then my room number was told to me loudly in front of three men in the lobby that I didn’t know. Then I get to the room and the thing that’s on the top of the door to catch the door if it opens is broken. And the door doesn’t look sturdy. And the door was hard to latch so the wind even blew it open. I left within 15 mins to go to walmart to buy things to barricade the door which is where I decided to just not go back because I didn’t feel safe. They only refunded half my stay and refuse to refund the security deposit even though I left pretty much instantly and never stayed there.
