We started out in the wrong room for one room.After everything was unpacked and carried up the stairs,we had to move. Given a key for one room and there was luggage in it, then with the the new room key ,the room reeked of weed and weed was found on the floor of the room. We did not feel safe enough to spend the night and we all left the facility.

My first room had a flea infestation, room #2 had kights and bathroom vent fans that did not work and the third was ended by the fire department crashing through our door in what ended up being a false alarm. Then we were subsequently accuser of triggering the smoke alarm even though we were cleared of any wrongdoing.

A good place for travelers to have a rest under a fairly cheap price. Free parking, AC, and even free coffee in the morning though the facilities look a little bit old.

Good stop for a restful night, no breakfast
One night stay, just passing through, had everything I needed for a great price. Steps to 2nd floor, not sure if there was an elevator because I didn’t needed. No breakfast was fine with me and we found a good place near by at Callaghan’s Resteraunr
