I asked for a second set of sheets to lay on the bed because i was pretty sure mine were dirty and was told they didn't have any but they had large towels I could use. TV remote didn’t have batteries and my shower didn't get warm. Otherwise friendly staff, easy check-in and convenient for the price.

Not a bad place for the price. If you are looking for a place to sleep for the night with no bells and whistles, this will work!

Shower was definitely the worse thing about the room. It was alright but I suggest just paying the extra 20 or so bucks and you can get a much nicer room close by

Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It looks like they are updating the rest of the property, our room was already updated. It was just noisy with the other guests.

The representative gave me a key to a room where the door lock was splintered like it had been 'jimmied'. The window to the outside (on the 1st floor)was majorly cracked. I insisted on a new room where the lock was not working. In the room the TV only gets 1 channel
