JUST DON’T. This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I checked in at 9:00 it took over 20 minutes to get checked in. Got to the room and the key card wouldn’t work. They ended up having to bring me a real key to use. Got in the room and there was a cobweb by the bed. I had to kill two tiny spiders crawling on the sheets. Sheets were so stained that we stripped both beds and use our own sheets and blankets. Light over the bathroom sink is really dim. Had to turn on the heat lamp to be able to see. Towels are stained. There is a weed / plant growing through a crack in the wall by the air conditioner. Multiple lamps not working. I think the outlet was shorted out.

After waiting a long time to check in (even with reservation) we were assigned a room. When we entered the room the temperature in the room was very high. When I tried to turn on the air conditioning unit it would not work because the cord was unplugged and the plug was twisted out of shape and would not work. Someone from house cleaning surely would have seen the air conditioner unplugged and found that it was unable to be plugged in.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Room was an absolute dump and there was a hole in the wall.

1st room we were offered had a pair of jeans and a feminine douche under one of the beds also, there was something (not sure what it was) in the shower. It smelled dirty and musty. The 2nd room wasn’t much better but we had to stay somewhere and everything else was sold out. Still had a musty smell asked for new sheets the desk guy said housekeeping were already gone for the day. Called to the desk for new towels on Friday and didn’t get them until Sunday afternoon. There are a lot of shady people hanging around there. This place either needs to be renovated or torn down. A call to the health department would be a good idea as well.

You get what you pay for.
We came for the festival, so we really just wanted a place to sleep cause we were gonna be gone all day. Checking in, there were 2 staff, and with 3 people in front of me it still took roughly an hour to get to talk to them. They kept leaving because people were having issues with their room. I will say though they were nice, and the guy that helped us were really apologetic about everything.
The room itself had mold on the bathroom ceiling. The TV didn't work (we personally didn't care about that), the chairs were stained really bad. We heard people saying there was dead bugs on their side tables which we didn't experience but just a heads up about that. The safe didn't work and was being held closed with a piece of toilet paper. The stairwells all smelled like pee, and one stairwell specifically smelled like cat pee. We were there for 5 days and the smell never went away. The vending machines were also rarely ever filled.
We put a sign up for housekeeping one day when we left around 9am, and nothing had been done by the time we came back at 11pm. I’m not sure how american hotels work if we were supposed to call, but I figured that’s what the “housekeeping please” sign on the outside doorknob meant. So we had to ask for extra towels (which they only gave us handheld ones but we were too tired to go back down and just dealt with it).
Overall, even for 60/night it’s not worth it. But it’s cheap and a place to sleep if needed.
