Total dive, my husband felt unsafe all night and could not sleep for fear that his car would be broken into. His room was around the back, and the room next door had constant traffic in and out ALL night, like they were selling drugs. VERY sketchy, this place needs some 24/7 security and an overhaul of room cleanliness as well. Will NOT book here again.

The rooms could use an upgrade. The carpet felt vaguely sticky and there was a fair size hole in the wall board. Not sure if it was my bad luck or if the other guest are always rowdy. There was a lot of bad language and domestic disturbance throughout the night from multiple locations in the hotel complex. The grounds were full of trash and liter. I wouldn't stay here again.

We survived the night.
We survived the night, despite the vagrants milling about the parking lot and facility from the moment we arrived. One and done! Room was ok, clean. Bed was hard. Had major concerns about safety and whether or not our vehicle, parked in the parking lot would be vandalized, and, or broken into.

The non smoking room smelled like cigarettes, we could hear people yelling and dogs barking from the other rooms all night. The staff was not particularly friendly, and when we got back in the evening our room key didn’t work, so we had to go back to the front desk to get it reconfigured. Everything was dirty and yellowed and someone had at some point punched a hole in the bathroom door which was just left that way. Overall not a great experience.

Very dated building, falling apart. Room was as clean as it could be. There were water stains and holes in walls and doors. The nonsmoker room smelled terribly of smoke. The monthly residents were bothersome, panhandling. It was more like a "short stay" motel.

This place qas filled with the smell of cigarettes, i think their air filter is clogged because my room is a nonsmokers, but the smell of cigarettes travel from other rooms to mine, its so strong that my clothes smells like smoke, the sheets smells like smoke too. And also, they have prostitution on site. You will find people walking the yard asking you if you want girls and that they will send them to your room. Whether management is involved, that I dont know. But be aware there are people living in this hotel and smoking in all the rooms is prohibited but people does it because you cant really find the source of it. Overall cleanliness, compared to the Ramada building, this is fine. It was an okay experience. I was worried that people didnt break in my car or have extra keys to my room, because yes I dont think its a safe hotel at all.
