Clean, nice staff, area seemed safe. Price was relatively low for the area, but you get what you pay for - sheets were a bit scratchy and the entire place pretty run down.

Nice spot for a quick one nighter. Smack in the middle of a ihop and McDonald’s is pretty nice if you wanted something quick and didn’t want to go far. Shower ran all night which wasn’t great but water pressure was nice. Not many amenities, bring what you need for toiletries lol

Good choice for proximity to fast food (McDonald’s/ihop), very friendly professional front desk staff, very good ac in rooms, quiet location. Sink was cracked and older tv, average rooms overall. Considering the demand for lodging in the area, even slightly lower room prices and some beautifying might be worth it overall. Noticeable effort by front desk staff though.

It appears to be in the process of renovation. I did find a live water bug in the tub which I disposed of. Floor needed to be cleaned but the beds were very good. Bedding and towels were clean. Staff did not speak English but were friendly.
