I was surprised to find that this hotel was very clean. You cant judge a book by its cover as they say. The hotel is located in a sketchy looking area. There's a chain of stores with security bars in the windows (you usually see this in sketchy areas where break ins are common). There is also a sketchy looking apartment right next to the parking lot....
When we arrived guests ( or maybe permanent residents of the hotel???) were hanging out on the stairs smoking. They didn't stay their long, just a quick smoke break I guess...My family and I stayed there for one night, we left before breakfast was available. Overall, clean hotel room. Only complaint is that we booked a nonsmoking room however, our room smelled of smoke...slightly, nothing I couldn't deal with. I was able to sleep throughout the night...no loud noise, car wasn't broken into or anything.... Its definitely overpriced though...but we stayed during July 4th weekend and everything is pretty much overpriced. A pool would have been nice.
