Absolutely the worst experience i have ever had in a hotel. There was no one at the desk to check us in, the room smelled bad, and they started banging on our door at 8 am. Called the police for a 45 minute late checkout after harassing us multiple times while we were actively packing to leave. ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

Rooms are dirty. The toilet seat still had urine from the previous people. Upstairs neighbors kids were very loud stomping and jumping, running and screaming and the lady upfront said there's nothing she could do. Horrible, they did not care about how we felt. Didn't even offer different rooms or nothing. Told us we may or may not get refunded.

I had a good stay at this hotel. Check-in was swift and efficient — Paula at the front desk was polite and professional, and the entire process took less than five minutes. I was pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade, which was a nice touch.
At first glance, the room was clean: fresh bedding, a tidy bathroom, and everything in order. The only downside was a few bugs I had to deal with — not ideal, but manageable.
Breakfast was just okay. The food was cold, unfortunately, but the breakfast area itself was clean and well-stocked. A hot, fresh breakfast would’ve made a big difference.
Parking was decent, though the front lot fills up quickly, so you may have to park around back. Just a heads-up: there's no on-site security, and there were a few questionable individuals hanging around at times. I was coming and going late, and the front lobby was locked during those hours. I encountered a staff member named LaKeisha outside, who seemed more preoccupied with her phone and smoking than assisting guests. When I tried to enter through the front, she told me to use the side door and made no effort to be helpful. Honestly, she was the only staff member who came off as rude during my stay. The ironic part is when I was departing she tried to have small talk with me but at that point, I was only interested in leaving.
The hotel has a gym and a pool, which I appreciated. The gym was small but clean, and had enough equipment for a basic workout. The pool area was also clean and well-kept, though I didn’t get a chance to swim during this visit.
I don’t usually request housekeeping during short stays, but I needed some trash and towels removed. Angelica went above and beyond — she was warm, helpful, and cheerful despite being busy. She truly made my day and represents the kind of hospitality every guest appreciates.
The hotel offers a laundry facility: $1.50 to wash and free drying. Just be aware that not all guests promptly remove their clothes. I ended up using a nearby laundromat as a backup.
Location-wise, it’s very convenient — surrounded by restaurants and even a Walmart within walking distance.
Overall, it's a decent, affordable find with mostly great service. I’d absolutely stay here again.
