Liked: Property conditions & facilities
It is a nice hotel right off the interstate and easy to get in and out of. Staff was very nice and the room was just what I needed for my stay/
Beds were alright, no refrigerator. Building is very run down, rooms aren’t too much better, I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter it was just all around an uncomfortable stay.
On the plus side Rooms were generally clean not perfect but not filthy and didn’t smell too weird so that was a plus lol
Didn't feel particularly safe. Took a while to get to the hotel and find the office. You can see it, just hard to get to it. Noise from the interstate was plenty loud. I booked it by accident, won't make that mistake again.

The mid shift front desk person is very rude at times. In my opinion he thinks he’s better than people who stays at the hotel
