A Pleasant Stay Was Enjoyed.....
VERY nice - for the most part; few if any complaints (wasn't clear if large-screen viewing monitor had USB ports - admittedly, DIDN'T examine; that'd definitely be DESIRABLE though.....)

The room smelled bad and was extremely dirty. Everything there, from the chairs to the refrigerator to the carpet, was extremely old and needed to be replaced.

You get what you pay for & you aren't paying much.
This place was okay, there were sketchy people hanging around but the place was cheap and convenient with ample parking.

It was conveniently located and easy to get to. However, it was dirty, pretty broken and all of the amenities except wifi were not available.

I would not recommend this hotel. The clerks, working at the front desk were quite nice, but the hotel itself was generally dirty and felt unsafe.
