Yes the hotel has been renovated, but the building is still old and does not appear to be built on a concrete foundation as you can hear every footstep of your neighbor, as well as the TV sets. Rooms are very sterile with lack of carpeting and most furniture you find in other hotel rooms. The room also smelled of cleaning chemicals when we arrived and required hours of airing out.
Did I mention the blood stains on the sheets?
There are also several people living at this site (both saw it and had it confirmed by staff), which gives it more of a low income housing feel than a vacation getaway.

The rooms we got where suppose to be none smoking first one had baggie over the smoke alarm and smelled so bad of smoke the second one was the same third one was better but still smoke smell. There internet you have to pay for and did not work at all. But the place was clean.

My first impression was - "Not safe" The hotel is not in a good part of town, characters were hanging around and the lobby had security cameras and security doors to protect hotel employees. We had to wait while they finished cleaning our room. Got into room and had to leave because the cleaner was overpowering - which is amazing because, it was filthy. The sink and tub appeared clean, but the floor left my socks blackened and the bed covers had black dirty smudges everywhere - even had toothpaste smeared on one. I had to kill two spiders - one of which was a BLACK WIDOW! The room had some large winged bug already squished into the peephole on the door. Other not so lovely features included: fun house mirror, booby-trapped sink (splashed water directly on person standing in front of it), HARD bed, wet toilet paper (a real joy), and absolutely no amenities (not even a clock or kleenex). Needless to say, we did not enjoy our stay. :-(

standard motel 6, clean cheap and cheerful! not a lot more to say really... would reccomend and stay again!
