Smoke detectors were chirping throughout the hotel. There were no front desk employees only a kiosk. I was afraid to leave my room because another guest was locked out of their room because their key didn’t work and the kiosk couldn’t give them a new one. I would never stay here again.

If all you are looking for is a cheap place to sleep for the night, this can work. Otherwise, it's garbage. It's a dirty and beat up facility. TV didn't work, lights were out. Also, don't let the free continental breakfast fool you. It was the absolute bare minimum. In fact, they had open gallons of milk and Sunny D in the small refrigerator. Seemed pretty darn unsanitary to me. I didn't touch it.

The check-in and check-out process was terrible. It took 15 minutes to check-in and 20 minutes to check out using an electronic kiosk. At check out the person insisted the hold fee I was charged upon checkin, was paid in cash and I would have to wait until a person thats comes in at 9:30 to get reimbursed..I paid the fee with a credit card..he kept saying no, you paid cash..he was arguing with me about it...he finally called his manager..after several more minutes, he finally comes back and says, your credit card will get credited..no apology..nothing

First thing, there was no person to check us in. It was done via a remote kiosk with a person probably out of the country. Had never experienced that. The hotel overall needs some TLC. Painting, entry doors and pavement outdoors is bad. Rooms need to be remodeled. Our room was dirty had stains on the lamp and trash from last guest. The only good thing was that it was close to our wedding venue and the price was good. But I will say that the sheets were clean. Would not stay here again. Do not stay here.

No staff on site was a big surprise...registered via a Zoom like device. Bathroom fan was so loud we had to use the hall light for bathroom illumination. Toilet seat was poorly connected. Continental breakfast was as sparse as they come. This hotel would not be anybody's first choice.
