There were some not-so-great aspects of this hotel, I stayed for 2 nights in September. I reserved a non-smoking room through Orbitz and the manager said nope, only smoking rooms were left (yack!). I will say this, he put me in a "smoking" room on the top floor that was totally clean smelling, so... that worked out for me, but be wary.
Also, the manager railed against how Orbitz cheats them, etc etc etc. Very bad vibe I got.
The common areas were non-existant. This is a very very basic hotel. I had a bad experience with kids running around on walkways outside my door waking me up more than once... (and I've schlepped my share of low-end hotels, dont get me wrong, I know you can have some good tenants or questionable tenants with the luck of the draw). The hotel has kind of a "beat down" feel to it, although the room was clean.
The business outside my window made alot of noise too (I was on the south (or west) end of the hotel).
Bottom line: ok if you have to or you get a killer deal.
