Small, limited space. Floors were dirty (I walked around with my socks and they got really dirty really fast). Limited outlets to charge or connect anything that requires power. The sheets looked dirty/stained. Perks is that is walking distance to restaurants and downtown.
It's a party hotel. Loud music all night. Room was outdated. the beds were comfortable though. But all in all,,, this hotel is trash

Disliked: Cleanliness
Definitely not a place I would stay for more than a quick day or 2. Everything works and despite the floors being gross in the room it was great for the price. They take a $100 deposit and it takes a while to get it back (i was fully charged and haven't gotten it back yet.). Very loud and smokey.
All staff we encountered were very friendly and kind. This location shares a building with the Travelodge so it took us a bit to find if we were in the right place.
The room did look like the photos online, however, the rooms are very dated and the floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned since they were installed. The tub and sink had scratches and burn marks where it was hard to tell if they were cleaned or just old. The towels were stain free and sanitized.
Our tv was not plugged in and when we located the cords, it looked like there was 20 years worth of dust on the wiring.
The bed was clean and comfortable.
The location was conveniently located in the middle of the key sights and an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Unfortunately, that also meant that we could hear cars racing up the street until 4am Sunday morning.
The staff was nice and helpful which is why I gave two stars. However, the property was very run down. The outside looked terrible. The sink in the room had a loose faucet and there was water on the bathroom floor when we first checked in. It was not worth the cost.

There were homeless people in the parking lot, and someone doing drugs under our stairwell. Bed was comfortable.
Disgusting property and staff. Bathroom ceiling fell in exposing mold and mildew. Front door didn’t latch properly. Homeless people all over the property. Police activity in parking lot. Drug deals in neighboring rooms all hours of the night. Lights in room were broken. Phone in room didn’t work. No way to contact front desk from room. WiFi didn’t work. Still waiting on a refund.
The place is strange. Half Travelodge half Howard Johnson And is pretty decrepit looking. The room itself was nice inside and the bed was comfortable though.
