Staff is super nice and helpful. Quick check in, really easy. But the conditions of the hotel are abit left to be desired, but you get what you paid for. Rooms are abit stuffy and hot, even with the AC pumping. The beds are big and spacious, abit stiff. Shower has strong pressure, but would benefit from in-room body shampoo gel. But again, on a budget and mind your business, easy place to stay.

The best sleep I had for months! Not only are they curious but also give you your space and not all up in your business. And at the same time willing to accommodate any and all of those little things you want....

Property manager was great and went above and beyond. Kept my bag for me while I went out for the day. Offered extra water.

The property was dirty and smelly when checking in. I was going to give them a chance. We made our way to the room and there was garbage laying in the hallway. We opened our room and the smell was atrocious. It was a musty moldy smell. It must off been an adjoining room, but they had that door duct taped around the edges. I wouldn’t even set my suitcase on the ground. We turned around and walked out. There were some shady people hanging around and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. My note to SEL is always stay in a reputable chain hotel. Never again!

This property was my worth experience in staying at hotel. All furnitures were broken, we reserved room for three people and there were not even enough soap for one person. I complained to hotel manager and he said, they are going to renovate the place soon, but don’t understand why hotel terrible condition was not mentioned as part of listing.

Do not recommend. Moldy smell in the room. Everything seemed and felt dirty. Needs a major upgrade.

Please look at the guest pictures! The pictures the hotel provided are just catfishing. The hotel is so run down. The inside of our room door had tape on the lock. I had to put the chair in front of it to feel somewhat safe. The beds had questionable stains. The feet on the beds were bending. Thank goodness I took blankets for my baby. The fridge had mold. Please be aware when booking

The bed was very old, hard and springs poking me. It smelled like bug spray and there was an outer door on one of the walls that had been taped up to cover a big hole.
