Firstly… looks good online but in person needs a lot of upgrades. I kept getting locked out my room because the cheap key cards kept the magnetizing even when it’s not next to anything so I had to go to the office get another one. It happened 5 times within the two day stay. There was MOLD in the refrigerator. I didn’t see at first Until later after food went bad from no electricity annd no air condition. On the second day, the electricity went out so I had no choice, but to pack up check out as soon as possible, and the manager didn’t offer a refund. No basic amenities like an ice machine. Had an old disconnected phone in drawer wit spider webs and dirty Qtips. So I couldn’t even call for service. I purchased it through hotels.com but unfortunately, they couldn’t get an approval from the hotel to give me a refund so I paid for what I got… A unpleasant stay!!!

The pictures lie. When I went into my room there was hair all over the floor and the towels had brown and yellow stains on them. They also forced a $50 dollar deposit at check in. The bed was so nasty I ended up leaving and finding another place to stay. A total waste of money.

The rooms are small but very clean. The place was quite which we liked. The price was within range of where you are staying. Didn't care much for the required $50 cash deposit which is returned once they have key back and inspected the room. Be sure to hang your room sign on door for Maid Service or they don't come in the room.
