Let’s be fair here.
I was told I have to pay a deposit of 100 and I did not have a card with me and was being told I cannot stay in the hotel..and I had already paid the hotel fee for a night..this is embarrassing..you would have charged that or put a card on file

Clean accommodations good for a night or two.
Excellent front desk service. Quiet hotel. Across from a cute community theater with lights strung over the street. Lot next door is a large vacant field and abandoned store fronts, but I didn’t notice loitering or anything. Older accommodations with carpeted rooms that are due for an upgrade but very clean. Had to hold down the handle to completely flush toilet and vanity lights above mirror were awful, but overall a good affordable hotel that I plan to use again.

The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, the property was clean and felt safe, the noise levels were perfect and there was plenty of parking. My only issue was that this hotel doesn't have wifi for guests. But besides that, I had a pleasant stay. I will be returning!

Room wasn’t ready at check in time . I sat in the parking lot waiting for her to finish but a staff member redirected her to another room . It was supposed to be a non- smoking room . I’ve never smoked so it was pretty obvious it wasn’t .Need new pillows they don’t fit the bed .

I was pleasently surprised at how clean and comfortable this place was. You can't beat the price and only about a 20m Uber ride to Jazzbones and the Comedy Club. We will absolutely stay here again!

Check in was smooth & easy. But the cot collapsed while I was sleeping so that was less than ideal
