Kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a budget hotel along a major highway. You get what you pay for. They were remodeling, some areas were better than others. It wasn't the worst place we've stayed at.

4/10 Fair

Disgusting.

The alarm clock couldnt be set as all the buttons were stuck...the fan in the bathroom didnt work. Breakfast was a joke. They didnt even have creamer for coffee. Sections of the walls had holes around the edges and mold.
Lacy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

STOP!! Please read

Not so good. Hotel has a very strong smell of some kind of incense pretty overwhelming. Appeared bedding was not clean. I slept on top of bed cover, did not want to complain because I did not want a confrontational argument. Also no housecleaning to change sheets after first day. Tub was dirty and had some kind of bug in bathroom. See pics
Stained sheet
Bug
Bug not sure what kind
Burn hole in sheet

8/10 Very good

breakfast wasn't great,there is no elevator and the refrigerator in the room needed to be defrosted. It was a clean, inexpensive, safe place for my daughter to stay for a week in between apartments. It's not upscale, it gets the job done. We are very happy with it
Rebecca, 7-night trip
