Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.
Broken phone.
Scratches on wall. Paint peeling.
The black spots is mold.
Mold in shower.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said "Sorry" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms. Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.

You get what you pay for

The room was ok except the work didn’t work inside the room (tried multiple devices). The staff said they would look into it but nothing happened as far as I could tell. Also they charged me like 10 more dollars than my reservation that was supposed to already include all the fees.

This was a very minimal hotel. The room was large enough, but it was barely ok. The room was pretty clean when I got there. They didn't change the sheets or bring new towels at all during my 3 night stay. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this hotel. It wasn't worth the price of $84 per night & $105 for Friday. A Motel 6 would have been better.
