Unfortunately this hotel seemed to have a lot of unsettled guest. Loud noises people up and out at all hrs. Guest revving bikes in the parking lot. Seemed to have guest that were possibly selling drugs or other substances. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my car in the parking lot. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a refund upon arrival so I had no choice but to stay. I barely got any sleep but I made it through the night.

The property is right next to McDonald's and 711. The 7 runs right in front of the property so if you need to get around town, there's the bus. The staff is always so kind to me and housekeeping is on point with their tasks. I love it here

The bathroom tub was a bit stained. There were a significant amount of roaches that came out. The mini refrigerator was dirty as well. I think if you focused on this a bit more you could be a much more successful Inn.

I felt like i was sleeping in the middle of the freeway. It would have been quieter in my car. The floor looked questionable to walk on barefoot. Bed was firm. Bring your own sheets and blankets. No phone or microwave. And please remove the tagging and graffiti on the walls

We weren’t expecting anything five star, we just needed a clean place to sleep and shower as we planned to be out most of the days. After having an issue at check in, we contacted Expedia and they resolved the issue. Once we got to the room we couldn’t believe how poor condition it was in, cracked toilet, graffiti everywhere, the smoke detector was on the dresser. The bathroom had a used soap bar. Loud music playing until 3am. On the day before check out, we noticed the curtains had been opened when we got back, when we entered our room we found all of our belongings gone. I went to the service desk and the receptionist said she “thought” we had checked out since we left the hotel early that morning even though we were to check out the next day at 11:00am. We did get most of out belongings back but it was such a bad experience. If you want to stay at a run down, dirty, and want no sleep this is definitely the place to stay.
