Overall it was a pleasant experience, it would have been better had there not been roaches, and if the shower stayed close. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

Only if you have to
This hotel needs huge upgrades. There was wet drywall behind the toilet that looked like it was molding, the ceiling tiles had stains, the baseboards were black and grimy, and I killed two cockroaches. On another note, the staff was very helpful, responsive, and pleasant.

Don't go here
This hotel is the dirtiest hotel i have ever stayed in, the bathroom was dirty the walls were dirty the flooring was put in by someone other than a Profesional.
The room had roaches and there were a bunch.
I would steer away form this place, luckily i only had to stsy one night, or i would have been looking for another hotel in the area.
