    Meh... you get what you pay for.

    Easy process, good prices, friendly staff. Just a trashy, junk hotel. Make sure you park where you can see your car b/c there are questionable people walking around the parking lot at all hours of the night

    1. Staff is extremely friendly. 2. Rooms - sheets were dirty and stained. The carpet had huge noticable stains and needed many sweeping as it had alot of particles on it. Not to mention - i found glass on my bed and holes in my sheet. 3. The other tenants in the building looked sketchy. I was not 100% safe.
