If you need a cheap hotel to sleep for the night then this is absolutely fine. It’s nothing special at all but convenient, easy parking and felt safe.

$200 a night I was expecting A nicer facility. First night, we rented the room with the Jacuzzi in it and found out that the room next to us was occupied by the owners family. They were loud obnoxious and would always put a chair outside of our door So we had to walk around them to get to our room. It felt like we were inconveniencing them. We switched to a different room The second night, but it wasn’t much better. The walls are paper thin so you can literally hear everything Your neighbor is doing. The place looks like it hasn’t been remodeled since the 70s. Very disappointed and will not be returning.

On arrival there was hair in the shower, the sink , on the pillow and side table. Toilet had been cleaned, but not perfectly. Staff were not rude, but just disinterested. One positive - the bathroom had a very good shower.
