I stayed at this location - I rather liked it. Very good location - sure not the best neighborhood, but centrally located and very safe. The price was great, room extremely clean. The front desk staff was very helpful. Oh yes, the internet worked fine.

He further insulted both myself and my wife by accusing us of lying about the lack of internet access after he had already acknowledged, and accused me of not being able to speak English (I am English, born and bred!). The area is seedy, with homeless stinky people going throught the trash outside the hotel to get bottles and cans, and there are peep shows across the street. Dont come here if you are a lady travelling along, and i wouldnt bring my wife or children here at all, for sure. However, if you dont mind some of the tramps, peepshows and insulting staff, then this is the place for you, but dont book online as their price promise is not honoured. My colleague got 40% off the advertised rate by when he booked late. Having said that, the...... Read more

This hotel is a great deal. Staff very friendly and helpful (and knowledgeable). Very busy place. Room was not big but very nicely decorated. Newly redone? Very nice place I highly recommend.

Rude and poor service

The clerk we had was the most rude and disrespectful individuals. We booked our room through motels.com and there was a mistake in the reservation. The clerk did not care and lied about not having extra rooms until we offered to pay extra. I will never stay at this motel again.
