No space for a uhaul wants you to park in others parking lots and he'll watch the cameras. Then in the parking lot i was told to park theres literally people fighting and throwing stuff at each other. Rude when my wife asked about this surprise charge of deposits that was never listed or mentioned

If your looking for a one night stay this is a option. The person who checked me in was very polite, provided wifi password, etc. The place is definitely dated, and dingy. Is this the most clean place to stay, not really. Is it okay for a one night stay? Absolutely. If your a frequent traveler you know to check the room out before getting settled in. I checked the bathroom for any issues, pulled back the sheets and checked for bed bugs, and made sure both locks worked on our door. Everything was good. The room was acceptably clean. The king size bed was great, not hard or soft, perfect in between feeling. The bathroom was bright and clean, extremely hot water, however the water pressure wasn\'t great. The "worst" part was the elevator, on one trip up the elevator stopped, and started making a weird noise and shaking.😳 We opted to use the stairs for the rest of our trip. Overall all, I would stay again.

Pros: Check in was quick. The room looked good and was clean. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was nice and well lit. The room had a hair dryer, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Overall a good room. Cons: That elevator! When it comes to a stop, it's very loud. That first trip up you'll wonder "hey are we about to go back down?!?!?" Nevertheless, it gets you up and down just fine. The hallways have a bit of an old smell, if that makes sense. The hotel could handle a bit of a paint job. The AC in the room was cool in the beginning but, it didn't keep us cool throughout the night. The bed could handle more pillows. We had a king with 3 small fluffy pillows.The breakfast was non existent on a Sunday. All that's available is coffee and OJ.

Fridge has mold and dirty water inside it. Reported to desk, but was advised (apologetically) that nothing could be done until the next day, which was too late to be helpful to us.

Paid through Expedia and was asked for a credit card when we arrived. Billed us again. Then booked us into the wrong room and had to refund the money and took another full rate again and lied to us about the charging our card again. Called the credit card company and verified the transactions and have to put in a dispute to get our money back. Don’t stay here if you like your money.

I arrived at Midnight and the General Manager greeted me right away and checked me in quickly and efficiently. The next day, I saw the same GM and he was very appreciative of my business and asked me to come back anytime. I was only at the hotel for seven hours. For the price paid, I thought this accommodation was a value.
