Homeless people around property. Sheriffs came to hotel due to some guy on site. Staff was not very friendly and more concerned with security than hospitality. Room was fine. A little noisy. Clean and adequate. Bed was a little soft and pillows flat and hard. But for the price, it was adequate.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Dirty, noisy and just not worth the cheaper price.

Carpet in bathroom was soaking wet, shower was clogged, air filter on air unit was filthy. Bed was really hard and uncomfortable.Room downstairs was noisy til 2am. Breakfast was all high carb junk food, no eggs. They did have good fruit and coffee though but don't microwave their coffee cups because they will catch on fire. You'd think they would warn their guests. Room did have fridge and microwave which was nice. Overall, for the price I'd advise staying somewhere else.
