Very much a “get what you pay for” place but with friendly owners who do their best to accommodate. I stayed while they were getting brand new AC units and it got so hot in my room. I asked them if they have any type of portable fans & the manager gave me the one out of his office.

Spacious room but filthy floor and the king size bed had queen sheets so you couldn't move much without pulling out all sheets. Uncomfortable!

Floors made all of my socks black. They apparently allow a mentally ill person to live here, he walks around rambling(loudly) all day and night.

Floors were dirty, bathroom floor tiles cracked,loose and noisy. Bathroom door was on the wrong side. ( you had to walk in and partially close door to reach sink). Bed slides when you lean on headboard,

There was no toilet paper holder . The toilet paper was simply placed of towels that were placed along the sides of the small sink. While I was washing my hands , the toilet paper fell into the sink,& the running water ended up getting the roll of toilet paper wet. We had to get a new roll of toilet paper -an inconvenience. Overall -> you get what you pay for. It's a BUDGET motel ! A drive around the block reveals nice houses w well kept lawns- I conclude the neighborhood to be safe. We ate at the Thai restaurant that's @ same parking lot as the hotel. The food tasted good, & the prices are lower than at other restaurants.

No ac, load music, and constant people slamming doors and yelling. No fans and poor air flow. Beds felt like over filled air mattress

No a/c, no fan, no ventilation, although website misleadingly says there's air conditioning in the room. Windows don't have any net screens, so cannot be left open. So no air circulation in the room. No soap provided in the bathroom. No drinking water provided. Kitchenette mentioned in the website is not a kitchenette. There's just a fridge and a microwave. No counter, no cups, bowls, dishes, no utensils and no stove or cooking vessels. The TV had no signal, so did not work.

I appreciate that they informed me about that the rooms doesn’t have A/C. The bed had wells and doesn’t stay firm in one place. Bathroom window had the windows bars broken (looks like someone tried to get in in the pass)

All of the rooms are smoking rooms (including the ones the hotel manager claimed is nonsmoking). There were spider webs all over room, no cups for toothbrush, and the floor was dirty. I was not impressed!
