Basic, but cleaner than other cheap places
It was basic, but clean. The owners are old and can come across rude but it's fine, at least it's clean. I was uneasy at first because I had not heard the best things about this location and its safety, but they're doing a good job on the renovations, and it's very affordable.

You get what you pay for.
You get what you pay for! Neighborhood seemed nice but the hotel area was sketchy. People loitering around outside lobby and once we went to bed (around 11 pm) men were yelling and it just seemed scary. Sheets were clean, water was hot, beds were comfortable, it was just the atmosphere that was not good.

Staff was friendly, price was great, exterior lighting was greatly appreciated, and the bathroom was in good condition overall. Bed sheets, comforter, and bath vanity had stains and cigarette burn marks on them. The main room could use a fresh coat of paint (to make the overall feel cleaner) and fresh sheets, bedding, and towels would elevate the entire experience.

Express what?
Good stay, new owners have done well with remodeling it and making it look nice. Slept good. Place was quieter than expected which is always a plus. The $65 a night is way too high of a cost for a room with no amenities at all.. Just basic everything. Except no ice machine!!! And a microwave outside for community use. where they do that at?? EXPRESS INN. Surprisingly no bugs! So thanks for that
