The manager on hand was friendly and laid back. Real nice guy. I don't know whose cleaning but their getting over on him. I didn't have a problem after I cleaned up. My dog got to stay with me for a good price. If they were to deep clean better as well as some of the riff raff that are in an out, it has potential!

This hotel is AWFUL. Staff was kind, truly. But the room and neighbors were ghetto. Room smell was like straight pinesol or lysol slapping you in the face. Walls disgusting. Beds gross. No nightstands. Druggie neighbors. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Check in staff was very friendly. Most of the residents who checked in later that afternoon appeared to be on the sketchy / criminal side. Check out was terrible, the owner just glared and wouldn't even speak.

Bed was clean and comfortable. TV was huge w/many channel options. AC worked great. I probably took the hottest shower ever. Ty. Only disappointments were, had to use tissue and take bubble gum off wall and pick up beer top. Curtains would not close shut. As a female this is important to me. Solved problem w/duct tape I had in car. Ok for price.

It was a place that catered to homeless using vouchers. There were lots of people hanging out in front of their doors and on the stairs, smoking, that you had to walk thru. Smelly. Our towells were all stained and well worn. Hot water only on the 3rd day in the shower. Our sheets were stained. One even had blue paint spatters on it. But it never felt unsafe and it wad very conveniently located. I was there 3 nights. And wifi did not work in our room. And ice machine couldn't keep up with demand. Room smelled smoky. Looked like recently renovated but it was poorly done. Cheap mattresses. But what did I expect for that price. I'll pay more money next time to stay elsewhere. Mostly due to the smokers, everything else I can deal with.

Really unfortunate experience. I expected a dinky motel for the price, I’m not too particular. All I ask is that a room is reasonably clean, safe, and functional.
I booked a non-smoking room for 6 nights. The first room they checked me into had cigarette burn marks in the bedside table and the comforter. I asked for a different room and they kindly showed me a few options, all of which still smelled like smoke, and had stains and/or burns, crumbs on the bed, etc.
It was late and I didn’t have another option so I chose the least smelly room. I ended up bringing in some blankets from my car to sleep on to avoid the smell of the sheets. The deadbolt on the door did not work. The tv was large but had no picture, only audio. There was trash and crumbs on the floor, bathroom counter was sticky. There were multiple dead bugs. There was a small hole in the wall that lead directly outside. Sheets and towels were stained as well.
All that being said, I was fine paying for the one night as I did chose to stay there, fair is fair. However, I did not feel comfortable staying there another night. I explained my concerns to the front desk and asked them to adjust their charge in my card from 6 nights to just the one and they refused. I’ll now have to dispute the charges with my bank which is annoying.
Someone looking to rent a room for this cheap isn’t expecting a 5 or even 2 star experience but this was extremely disappointing.
Do not believe the photos, they are very outdated

I had a cockroach land on my hand in the first 5 minutes. I killed two more while I was there and one more when I got home. Bed sheets smelled unwashed. Shower was difficult to figure out how to get it to make hot water.
