Bugs in the bathroom. Very noisy. Overcharged for previous stay. I don't know if the deposit was used or not, but I was charged $146 for a one night stay, two people. No parking...unsavory clientele. Beds were comfortable and clean. It was hard to get the TV to work.

If you book through reservations or by walk-in, it costs a lot more. When I looked for this 2-night stay online, the price was $70 p/night. My bf decided to call reservations, and they wanted over $300 FOR THE SAME ROOM. He had to come to the hotel and pay at the front desk. That ended up costing a little over $250. If we had booked online, it would
