This place is long in the tooth, but the rates reflect that. The beds are still comfortable, the kitchens work. Just bring the stuff you know you'll need and you will be fine. The staff is friendly and the long term guests are pleasant as well.

The staff was very pleasant and professional at check in and out the team answered any questions we had during our approach. The entire hotel can use a good remodel I mean a good remodel from end to end. The carpets on the hallway and bedroom look old and dirty of the wear and tear. The room ceiling painting is pealing off. The toilet in side room looks like it was leaning to the right. The closet door as well as the window are in bad shape. The window screen was broken. The bed sheets and pillows are were out and even though they smelled clean they look yellowing due to the age of them. Also all of the appliances are outdated and the refrigerator is so loud it wakes you up through out the night.
