This time a lot of things were not working right. The sink in the bathroom had no hot water. The bathroom flooded after I took a shower. The phone didn’t work. The girl that checked me out was not very nice. She was to busy on her personal phone. But the times I stayed before were nice. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I think her name was Sheri😊

This place is obviously recently renovated, but in a half-assed way that leaves the old, worn-out feel. Floors are fake wood, but very obvious and not cozy at all. Bathrooms still have rust in the tubs, and are very small. If you need to stay in the area cheaply, it's generally a good deal, but I wouldn't want to stay here for more than a night or two.

It looked clean and nice in the room but the area looked sketchy. Then found a bug on our pillow when we left.
