6/10 Okay

It’s fine. You get what you pay for. It’s an older facility so everything is pretty worn down and a bit crusty but all serviceable. It’s what I expected for budget.

Teche, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was in poor condition. The furniture was in bad shape, some of it was broken. The floor was not clean. Maybe their vacuum cleaner was broken, but rug was gritty with crumbs and dirt. There was a sock on the floor that some had left behind. We were disappointed.

4/10 Poor

Despite a booking error on Expedia, this place refused to even consider canceling the reservation without penalty since it wasn't my fault. Other issues with the unit: Smelled/stuffy Carpet stains throughout No light in the "balcony" Holes in the walls Incomplete paint patches Extremely tight vanity space Homeless man yelling and cursing to himself (felt unsafe)

We arrived a bit early but were allowed to check-in early. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a little older but priced accordingly. The location was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!
