Terrible....never going back.
The floor was so dirty my socks were black. Room was musky.The tv sucked , had to be from the 90's. Could turn it on without going through a slew of things then we had to ask the lobby to help. Which wasn't helpful at all, they could of cared less. Thier website makes it look 10x better than it really is. Its a motel not a "hotel". The tiny restaurant in the "motel" was horrible. I wouldn't even pay for one of the dishes, it was so tough we couldn't chew it. The only thing good i can say is the the bed & pillows were comfortable. We will not be going back ever.

The room we stayed in, one of the towels still had makeup on it, I was unaware of the train tracks behind the hotel which made for a noisy night, and the drain in the shower and sink had a horrible smell. I told one of the staff members about the remote and he seemed disinterested in helping me solve the issue. Also, after spending over $500 for two rooms, he told me that I was not YET charged some random hotel fee of $15/room which was ridiculous. It was a miserable stay and we could not wait to leave and are thankful we only booked for one night.

Disappointed
Before we booked we called to double check the distance from the downtown area and parking they were short said 84 rooms 84 spots we arrived and the room smelled like smoke it was suppose to be a non smoking room they also charged us extra money at checkin for a service charge I’ve never heard of such a thing but paid it the pictures on the internet are very deceiving I would consider this more of a motel not a hotel

Good, clean, safe place to stay for the money. Good location in my opinion. Some people might find the traffic noise on the street side a bit much at night. I was able to tune it out but others could find it a problem. Yes, I would stay here again,
