For the cost, this hotel does it’s job. If you are looking for a fancy hotel, this is not it. This hotel serves it’s purpose as a convenient location to stay over at an affordable price. I chose this hotel based on location to my sister’s hm. I probably would not choose it again just because it had a weird smell coming from AC/heater unit and the walls are super thin. Night parking was a lil difficult during the holidays. Overall it served it’s purpose. Ty!

It was more expensive for the Xmas holiday. Had the bad luck of having crappy next door neighbors who fought, slammed doors, and then set off the smoke detector. Fun times.
