Inexpensive daily rental.
Refundable Deposit of only $20.00 .
Free shampoo and body wash in the shower.
Good solid consistent water pressure.
Free WiFi and cable/satellite TV channels.
A/C unit in unit works great.
Poor kept put dated facility and rude staff : Bad Area!
One has to pay $20.00 deposit in Ca$h! They don't take CC/Debt for deposits.
Room was directly next to open garage which had trash cans and recycling cans all over flowing. Pungent smell and sounds of people puting trash in all day and night.
Unit door was missing door guard and door sweep. Causing debris and even rain water to enter the room.I had to place a towel at the goor of the door.
Not to mention outer door near sewer grate which had insects lurking. I found 3 different bugs in the room.
Bedding needs to be mended or updated being there was 3 cigarette pen size holes in base of comforter and dingy pillow cases. Plus found candy wrappers in bedding upon turning in for sleep.
Room only had an over head light and no lamp causing glare on high mounted television viewing. Not to mention lighting switch sensor was damaged.
Bathroom toilet cramped in nook with sink partially blocking access and one has to squeeze in and out of toilet area. Bathroom sink soap dispenser was out of soap. No hook for small hand towel just exposed hardware to right of sink while bigger towel bar was directly side above toilet.
Shower had slow drainage and pooled several inches of water while showering and took 10+ minutes to completely drain upon turning off the shower faucets.
Check Out time is 10:30am but for some reason front desk clerk seems to pound on every taken units door at 10am to make sure everyone is awake to receive verbal confirmation of departure or extention by 10:30am checkout time despite reservation. They also only allow 10 minute (2:50pm) Check-In Time of 3pm and 10mins to leeway of checkout time.
* Upon politely bringing awareness to a few issues and or comcern one was meant with hostility and questionable dismissing remarks and behavior.

Deposit was only 20 dollars
Room has roaches. Parking spot right by hotel room door. Bed uncomfortable. The lady at front desk wouldn't give me Wi fi and the TV couldn't use Roku. My gf hated the bed.

This is a rare gem. I respect the business and appreciate them being there.
the parking lot is small BUT you can park directly in-front of your room.

it was visibly clean. The owner was an older woman and she was great once i spoke to her. When i needed extra toiletries she did provide me with them. There are several good eating spots around the area in the day.
The parking is terrible. Parking need more organization. Cars are way too close to eachother. The enviorment doesnt feel safe as it feels like they atract more local people to use the hotel rooms for one nighters. Some of the other male owners were there and looked like they were on sketchy stuff. The hotel can definitely use a good paint job and choose a color that doesnt look like drug dealers run the place. The people next to us were smoking weed and we could smell the whole thing. The surounding area is only safe in the day since its when most tourist are out. At night it becomes drug dealing and thug night.

They live there and are very rude in saying you don’t watch tv we’re eating. The person that fixed my tv touched my personal phone and when through my belongings. Mind you they kicked everyone out before 11am to change rooms. They need better manners one of the men said the N word loud and clear. Upon check out two men go and check the room out. Weird people. Never again. Don’t stay here. I checked out early.

The bed
The room is literally just a bed and a nightstand, air conditioner is high on a wall, there is no programs on the tv, the walls are so thin yoj can hear people walking in the hallways

Very private not many rooms it’s on a first come first serve basis but I enjoyed it since I didn’t have many neighbors around me. Then the staff was very understanding about the deposit my advice is don’t trash the room and don’t have extra people in the room and they will return your ID and deposit as well very lovely staff.
Parking was limited but otherwise very fair.

Quiet and peaceful getaway, nice size comfortable beds nice Bug Screen TVs I suggest bringing either your Roku or Firestick tho lol, some of the nicest and friendliest staff.. the cleaning lady is one of the sweetest people you can ever meet I try not to make her job harder when having to clean my room I’ll clean up myself before leaving
Sometimes you might have some guest checking in that can be a little rude, fighting for a good parking spot or they’ll block you in.. Hate that 😆
