Never again
Got in the room and it was hot in there. Didn’t realize there was no A/C. Room was decent nothing special. I was surprised the tv and fridge worked but they did. Pulled sheets back and saw a some blood stains on sheets but not til my last night. Went to turn on light by bed and there were two pieces of gum on it. Oddly the cleanest roomed seemed to be the bathroom.
Super Happy!
I was a little wary after some of the reviews, but we found the beds very comfortable, the staff friendly and the location super convenient. More than enough for our two night stay. We had a room with two bedrooms separated by a bathroom. Both rooms had enough space to move around comfortably and to place luggage on the floor.
Old motel, but ok for one night
Old motel, a bit run down. It was all that was available during graduation week at the university. The staff was courteous, the room was small and old, but clean, and the bed was comfortable. The tv worked, we had wifi, and the bathroom was small, with little storage, but everything worked. Basic, but we got the essentials. No coffee, no breakfast: there are places nearby where you can get both. Main issue for me: they took a deposit when we checked in, in case we damaged the room, and I hope I get it back....
Avoid at all costs
Horrible customer service - incredibly rude and unhelpful and try to gouge you on everything. The room smelled liked a combination of wet dog and chemical cleaners. I would never stay here again. I'm pretty sure its just a racket to rip people off for one time given the reviews, but save your money and go elsewhere! I have never been treated so poorly by front desk staff and the prices they charge are absurd given how run down and poorly maintained the rooms are.
Not recommended hotel
Unfriedly staff! And: I asked for room for 1 night (which was @ google hotels shown for 149$) and the offer was 200$ and when I asked why I do not get the internet price the male staff got very unfriendly - so I left.
