Adequate hotel for budget minded

It's an old hotel, updated. The disturbing part was cleanliness. I walked barefoot on the floors and the bottoms of my feet were black with dirt.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The “hotel” was desolate, run down, dilapidated and scary. Kids running amuck unsupervised, entire windows missing from some rooms and others had people hanging out the windows smoking. Police showed up while we were checking in, someone had called 911. Then gave us a “room” right next to the rowdy kids when it appeared to be mainly empty except some people living there. Didn’t even stay just drive away and got a room at a better place. Do not recommend at all. Waste of my money and time. Awful

Damaged and Dingy

This room had damage to walls, doors, furniture. The carpet felt grimy and gross. There was almost an inch gap under the exterior door - a mouse wouldn’t even need to crouch down in order to walk in. My husband and I needed a last minute place to stay for just a few hours to catch some sleep. We almost left when we saw the condition, but the bed seemed clean enough and we were too exhausted and already out the money. I would never stay here again though. Needs major work. 125 for the stay was way too much for the condition.
