The place was under some type of construction and there were very shady people roaming around looking like they lived in their cars in the parking lot and smoking drugs in their vehicles.

It was ok for a quick overnight stay. did have clean sheets. No blankets just a sheet and quilt cover. Lots of people foot traffic all night.. The room was adequate, no coffee maker and not one single cup/glass provided. Breakfast was handed out in paper bags containing Oatmeal in cup, muffin factory sealed, yogurt and breakfast bar.

You know that one scene from the movie Big with Tom Hanks when he goes to new york for the first time and its time for him to sleep , and curls up afraid. Well its kinda like that . Pillows had lipstick on them , the walls had patched up holes, there was a jacuzzi but it was caution taped off , there was a very different kind of unsafe crowd outside everynight. The air conditioning was great though. Overall i would not recommend this place .

Checking in, nobody was at the front desk and had to find a maid to get manager for us. This location needs a complete renovation - it is definitely showing it age. We checked in on Friday for a 2 night stay but with the condition of room and discussion with my wife we checked out on Saturday. We have a pet and it's hard to find a location that will take pets. When we got back on Saturday - we were surprised that I room had not been made up and no clean linens. Would not stay there again. Very poor representation on line compared to actual site. Had to ring a outdoor bell to get into the lobby and instructed if you wanted coffee and breakfast - you could get a bag in the morning.
