Disliked: Amenities
Very inexpensive and manager was friendly. Although my room had a slight smoke smell and no shower soap was available I'd stay there again because the room was available at the last minute for a bargain price.

Staff was great, room was rundown. No fire detector, fan falling off of ceiling in bathroom held by ductape, mold, no garbage cans in room, went out to buy our own sheets & towels, random noise & transients overnight. Not worth saving $ to stay here

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
To say that this was the worst places that I have ever stayed, would be an understatement. Please refer to the photos taken. There are major violations within this hotel. The shower had no shower doors or curtains, the toilet had a shoe string attached to flush it. The smoke detector had wires hanging out from inside of it. Thank God my fiancee is an electrical engineering! The refrigerator was sitting on the floor and there was no microwave as advertised. We were given dirty cut up white towels to use that could barely fit around us and the room stunk. This is not a kid/family friendly place and they play games with the wifi passwords. They purposely give you the wrong password. There is one housekeeper who I assume lives at the location, she was extremely nice and that's the only good thing that I have to say about this place.
