In a good location. One downside was that noise travelled very easily through the walls. A big downside was that there were roaches all over the place, including some big ones. The little roaches were less noticeable, but were absolutely everywhere if you payed close attention. We had to try very hard to not take any back home with us.

The location of this hotel is perfect!! It has the potential to be so much more than it offers -- I think the dirty and unorganized lobby and courtyard are unfortunate. Just cleaning this up would make a big difference. The rooms are fine!

Well what should I say… if need somewhere to lay your head while you stay this is the place. If you want an enjoyable, more of an actual hotel feel I would pick somewhere else. It gives more A class motel but C-hotel, in my honest opinion.

Under whelming hotel experience
The beds were fine but that’s all there was 2 queen beds a small night stand and light, refrigerator that had mold and a tv that had the most shoddy internet we have ever seen. For some reason, they had two windows open that we didn’t know we’re open and then we realize they were because they said the cleaning lady said there was a smell and I thought it was really scary. Actually maybe somebody would actually climb in. We are on the second floor it didn’t matter there was nothing behind but trees, so we closed it because it was opened with a plastic hanger and then the bathroom was so small. They have a showerhead that’s right up on top in the middle of the shower and they have a glass door and I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures that you couldn’t even turn it on without getting your hair wet . So we used a crest toothpaste to turn it on so we didn’t get wet, but there was nowhere to stand. If you don’t wanna get your hair wet and the shower because the huge spray is a big square water spray that was just in the middle on top sprayed With a cloth shower curtain to close by the glass shower door very confusing will never stay there again ever. Also, they said there’s 15 places to park there’s only 10 nobody knows how to park in the parking spot so I had to park where you walk in the gate in my big truck and the person that ran the place that had to move his car so I can move in the gate and then he could park behind me luckily, the next night I found a spot, but it was so tight.
