The room had a foul smell and the sheets were dirty and clearly had been slept on. I went told the front desk and they gave me a different room but then the new room had dirty towels that had been use and were filthy. Will definitely never stay there again and will not advise anyone else to book there.

This particular room is in desperate need of a remodel. Everything in the room was so old and decaying.

There was a door that leads outide right next to our room. Throughout the night someone kept opening the door amd letting ppl in from the parking lot. When we drove up to check-in there was a man sitting on the side of the bldg with a 24-pk of beer, drinking. Several men sitting in their trucks as well in the parkimg lot drinking. Felt very unsafe for my daughter in-law & granddaughter

The third floor is great. I’ve never stayed on the first floor but I have stayed on the second and it’s not so great at all but the third floor is newly renovated and very nice. The nighttime staff is great the daytime staff doesn’t really speak to you I would assume they are the owners, but they are Polite Although it’s a great access to get to the freeway and 225 and all of the ways that you need to go on a highway, it is in a very, very, very bad drug related area

Stayed one night for the family Christmas party. Very friendly and cheerful staff. Older building but very clean and great for what we needed. Shipleys literally right next door. Conveniently located. Will stay again .

Hair dryer was broken, no trash bags, the mini fridge was dirty it kind of looked like they didn’t finish cleaning it there was a dirty washcloth inside… bed was clean and comfortable though but the blankets were really thin. If you’re looking for a cheap okay hotel, something decent- this is the way to go. Staff was friendly, breakfast was okay! 4/10 stay overall

Facility was nice. Location, not so much.
- 5/5
The price per night was the absolute best in the area. Renovations were underway so some rooms had some disrepair, like our bath tub had some rusted spots. Everything was clean, though we did find a roach in its death throes. We stayed multiple nights. We used the laundry facilities, wash was great but dryer needed 2 cycles to dry a full load. It is an extremely quiet place in spite of being at a busy intersection. Great staff and management. The latte machine was heaven sent. Overall, a great stay and the facility is being improved. Recommend now and highly recommend about 6 months from now.

The price was cheap. The hotel looks good from the outside. We rented 2 rooms. they were ok. The breakfast they only had cereal and waffles. For drinks they only had milk and coffee. There wasn't much variety. The kids ended up going to the donut store next door.

Clean quiet and larger rooms then adverage being its an older dwelling. They offer a kitchen for guest's to prepare meals. I however didnt have a chance to take advantage of. If ever in the area in the future, I'll definantly book there again.

Room was disgustingly dirty. Husband called the front desk within minutes to let them know the room was dirty - food and hair all over the floor, stained, dirty sheets. He left, went to a better hotel, and when we tried to get a refund through Hotels.com, the hotel told them that he came in, tore the room up and got it dirty then left. I’m assuming it’s to save face since someone didn’t do their job. Look at his timeline. He checked in, called and said he wasn’t staying there because it was so dirty, then checked in at another hotel 15 minutes away, and it all happened within 20 minutes.

We were taking supplies to hurricane Laura victims, this hotel was perfect, clean, cold room, small parking lot for those pulling a trailer
- 1/5
The hotel is old and I guess supposedly renovated, but I couldn't even see out of the window because of build up on it There is nothing appealing about the place; only that there's a Shipley's donut shop next to it. All I could think when we drove up was "this is not for me", but it was the holiday weekend and everything reasonable was booked up or too expensive. We made the best of it, but I would not recommend to anyone

Cost effective place to stay. Remote not working for TV, a lot of tape on it but still not working. Room next to metal door going to outside stairway on 3rd floor. That door was opened and slammed at least once every 30 minutes all night cheating me on some much needed sleep for 3 nights. People up all night and still going strong when I left for work each morning. Will only stay here again if I have a room away from exterior door on East side away from sun.

Beds subpar. Basically spring mattress with top padding. Hotel is old but otherwise clean. Wifi spotty. Tv didn't work. Continental breakfast consists of waffles, toast or outdated cereal. Coffee and oj for drink. Staff is friendly however, they do not have much to work with

No ice on third floor. We were short bath towels.
- 1/5
The rooms here are very poor quality. There was an overwhelming smell of mildew, mold, or something similar (I assume, due to the large discolored water stains in the ceiling); the bathroom was disgusting and looked unsanitary;the receptionist admitted that the room that I'd originally booked was "not a very nice room" and attempted to prevent me from leaving by offering to switch my reservation to one of their renovated rooms. The only good thing about the renovated room was that it didn't smell bad,so I immediately turned in the keys not even 10 min sheet I arrived and went to another hotel. No matter your financial situation, please avoid these rooms like the plague and spend a few extra dollars to stay somewhere else.

Nice cozy hotel with a very reasonable price. There was a smell that was permeating from, I believe, the AC unit. It was a spicy smell like maybe an air freshener but it was somewhat irritating. It was the same smell in the front desk area so I don't think it was mold or stagnant water. The Tropicana in Las Vegas had a similar irritating smell. The double queen room we had was very spacious. We had more room than some higher end hotels. Basic bath and shower facilities, no frills. Looks like the hotel was fairly recently updated.

The rooms are large but could use some updates and fresh paint..beds not that comfortable but I guess when it's a two star hotel you get what ya pay for...but my biggest problem was that there was no hot water..it gets Luke warm at best.

The only thing clean in my room was the sheets and actually I hope they were clean. The vanity counter had hair all over it and sticky. The curtains was falling down. The floor needed vacuumed, cigarette ashes and food debris on the floor. The lady at the front desk was very nice and friendly but other than that the hotel was not clean.

The outside of the hotel and neighborhood is very sketchy and scary. If I hadn't been with my husband I would have turned around and left. Inside of hotel is nice enough and room was extremely and surprisingly CLEAN. Will not stay there again, was too worried about my car getting jacked while I was asleep. No phone or wifi in room
