This property would have potential if they painted the rooms and replaced the stained chairs. The location was great, it was within a bus station.

Neither room we tried had plumbing options that were able to work with my wifes disability, but the front desk attendant was more than top notch with her assistance, even though we had to book with a different hotel. She is the reason the hotel gets two stars

The property was ok. We ended up on an outside corridor from the pictures online which felt less secure. Jamie at the front desk was exceptional! He was very kind, thoughtful and accommodating. He was the highlight of the stay!

I was given a double room although the facility was pretty empty. I’m traveling alone so the double room was no benefit to me with smaller beds. The photos of the rooms need to be updated as they are highly deceiving. The room was extremely hot and took hours to cool down, the sheets smelled and there were flies in the room.

I should have taken pictures. A waste of money. It looks nothing like online pictures. It smells stale when you enter. The rooms look like a scene from a horror movie. The beds look old as if they've never been replaced. I didn't sleep there not one night. It's run down. I couldn't get my money back so I gave it to one of the people already staying there. It's really for locals that are homeless. I spent 3 hrs driving around looking for a hotel. Finally found an acceptable place on short notice.
