As cheap hotels go, it was solid. Got a room for the college world series. Beds were comfy, shower was hot, room was clean. My only complaint is that the rooms were very very hot even with the AC on full blast the whole time.

The place is falling apart. Fixtures barely hanging on. Hole in the wall. Window not sealed. Sink counter sloped. Carpet in pieces. Parking lot very cracked and various bits of trash. Small black spots on the AC vents. They seriously need to bring in some maintenence guys. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable, staff was helpful, and they had waffles for free breakfat.
