5.8/10 (521 reviews)

This was a very clean room and they had just done improvements on the location and the room. Only thing that was bad was our room did not have shampoo or conditioner and per other guests asking at the front office they did not have any either. The one gentleman was told at 0715 am that he would have to wait til 0900 to get shampoo. I walked the couple blocks down the road and bought some at the gas station.
