We came snd stayed for a sports tournament. The property was very clean and you could tell that they prioritize cleanliness. The furniture was a little worn but functional. It would have been great to have a light breakfast and a vending machine but there were food options nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful which i liked.

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
