The staff seemed very welcoming, but the hotel is very rundown and needs remodeling. It was nice that the rooms had microwaves and refrigerators, but it still needs to be renovated. There were also a lot of people wandering around outside at every hour. I didn’t feel safe.

The photos of this property are deceiving. The room smelled horrible, they have homeless people living there, the bed spread had burn holes in it. Did not feel safe staying there. Immediately checked out and found another hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Had a wonderful 2-night stay! The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, mini fridge, and coffee maker). Room service was excellent, and towels were delivered promptly when requested. The outside of the hotel is lovely as well. Highly recommend!
