Good for the price
I read through all the reviews prior to booking. Here is my take: Pros: price is good for quality, location was great, the beds were very comfortable, the coffee on Saturday morning was good, and the staff was friendly/helpful. Cons: our bedding was damp, both rooms smelled like cigarettes and mildew, and the room felt humid/clammy. It was a good stay for a night.

Clean and comfortable
Comfortable, clean room. Had what I needed. The mattress was a bit firmer than I like, but that's okay. Friendly front desk.

Adequate One Night Stay
Stopped in for a one night stay to rest a few hours on a cross country road trip. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room is best described as "adequate" .. it fits the price tag. The beds were comfy, the rooms looked clean, and the TV was nice. No amenities, no frills.. just a bed to sleep in for an affordable price. My one complaint was the noise ... the walls are quite thin and people were slamming the doors all night do I did not get much sleep unfortunately :(

The staff and the front desk was amazing. However, the hotel itself was so disappointing. It was dirty. There was roaches in the room. The bed had stained the chairs and the tables. It was absolutely disgusting. The only reason I gave this place to two star was because the staffing was amazing.

This place was ok, it smelled like pot whenever we opened the door and we don’t smoke. There were 2 large roaches that appeared on the 2nd night and the bed made noises. I would most likely not stay there again.
