    No frills hotel. THERE IS NO HOTTUB! They have bricked it over and now there is only a pool. Towels were empty but the pool was clean. I didn't know you can have dogs here, I heard large ones barking in the room while walking by so I guess they are allowed(?) The pool is open till 11. Upon checkin they couldn't find the reservation, but after awhile they found it. I liked the lobby/business computer area and convince store area for food. Unless you drive nowhere to walk to. The building is aged for sure and a smell of something in the halls. The rooms have large kitchens with everything you need to cook something and eat. I loved the loan cabinet that you could loan out anything from kitchen gadgets to board games to basketball. If your looking for something cheap and dont need frills but want a large kitchen, this would be the place. The bedding did have marks on the white sheets, but the shower water pressure was great and loved the heat lamp in the bathroom.

    Absolutely disgusting hotel, the kind you walk into and wonder if you should even risk sleeping under the bed covers. With exception of the lobby, the building is noticeably old, worn, and ill-maintained. The whole place has this strange, disgusting odor. My room looked like it had some minor upgrade work done to it, but it needs so much more done to be acceptable, not even necessarily modern. Vents were rattling, painted over, and ajar; the floors and ceiling tiles stained; the bathroom moldy and with cracking floor tiles and a toilet that needed to be babysat to flush properly. I could hear my neighbors all throughout the night. The heat was turned up to 78 degrees when I got in for some reason. The staff was relatively friendly, but apparently forgot to schedule a shuttle to the airport for me despite confirming at check in, which left me scrambling and almost missing my flight. Spend the extra $20 and stay at the Holiday Inn Express across the street.
