The room was big and had plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure is fantastic! The negative is that I booked and paid online. When I got here, there were only smoking rooms available. The lady said she found a non-smoking room, but she was mistaken, the room stinks of ashtray, Awful! Great price, but the room stinks. If she can't move me for tomorrow, I'm staying somewhere else. Because of the smell, I give this place: 2-Stars.

This place is a dump. I was scammed by them via Booking.com. I prepaid for a room and upon arrival was told that they do NOT work with booking and I would have to pay an additional $55 for a lesser room. I contacted Booking.com and they told me that it’s my problem and that it isn’t a scam. I had to be refunded via my bank..

I made a reservation for myself and my partner. I called the hotel two days prior to the reservation to add my partner's name. The hotel said he was good to go. Day of arrival, they would not let him check in as he arrived before me. Had to jump through hoops to get him added. Room itself was decent. Comforter had cigarette burns in it and looked dirty from ashes but overall fairly clean. I guess I really couldn't ask for much more from a $35 room so overall satisfied with my stay

The bed was comfortable. The staff was helpful. I felt safe at the location. I have stayed here several times and have never had issues. My rating is for locations similar in price.
