The access to the downtown area was very convenient, and although we needed to drive every day, the road was straightforward to the downtown. The utility system was noisy. I heard loud noises several times during the stay. The wifi was weak, and the wifi weakness might be a temporary issue. Considering the price

The women at the front desk were very friendly and quick which I appreciated. The room itself was okay, the bed cover had holes and smelled weird, the blanket was stiff and old. The shower was fine and everything worked okay. However, not the best area and there were lots of sketchy people walking around the property. This one lady who just walked around all day was circling my car repeatedly at night but I had my boyfriend with me so I felt safe. Woke up at 3 am to some strange looking guy knocking on our door twice, he also knocked on our neighbors but no one else’s door. Very strange and uncomfortable but that’s the area so be careful. Didn’t feel safe in this hotel but the room itself was fine.
