  : They advertise a full breakfast but give you a snack in a bag. The carpet was threadbare, the towels thin and scratchy. And for all this luxury i had to pay a $100 deposit and have the room inspected before I left. I felt more like a criminal than an honored guest. Two thumbs down!

  : Everything about this hotel screamed unsafe - lobby locked during check-in hours; check-in was through a tiny window and included a form to initial saying you wouldn't trash the room; wifi wasn't unavailable due to a problem; no one would be at reception between 11pm and 7am; all hotel rooms had exterior doors directly to the outside; and when we returned from dinner after 9:30pm, there were no other cars parked on our side of the hotel though we had seen young men in cars earlier in the evening. Because the lobby was locked continuously, when I inquired about the included breakfast, I was told they weren't providing it but could prepare a breakfast bag in the morning. I did not have a good feeling about this hotel, so we checked out after 3 1/2 hours and went to a better hotel which was safer and offered all the amenities advertised, unlike this hotel.
