First of all the hotel is directly across from The Penthouse (a strip club). Rooms were dirty, no hand towels or wash cloths. Hair dryer was broke. The phone did not work. Alarm clock was also broke. Refrigerator did not turn on. Free breakfast was extremely small.

Less classy than the Penthouse Club it overlooks
WiFi didn’t work, shower knob didn’t work, blood or semen stains visible on top mat, and charged a pet fee for a licensed service dog (that’s against the law—but how much will you argue over $20? Report this to the DOJ if they do it to you. They’ll at least fine them.). The manager/owner wouldn’t even respond to complaints made calmly, in person, face to face. Like stood there as if he weren’t hearing my words or didn’t know what they meant. It was bizarre. Checked out around midnight just to get away from there.

The hotel was ok, we stayed the night and we got a good night sleep. It was clean, and the rooms were fine. The staff was friendly, really it was a great hotel to stay for the night passing through. Only thing was it was right next door to a strip club.

We stayed one night here. It was good for the price. I was a little disappointed that they had OJ-like beverages instead of actual orange juice.
