After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, we still hoped that this hotel was not going to be that bad. We're a family used to Motel 6's and Super 8's, so we were sure we couldn't be frightened by any hotel. We were WRONG. Don't stay here, the other reviewers are completely accurate! It's a shady feeling neighborhood, and with two teens training for cross country season, they were not pleased that the neighborhood was this unsafe to run in. Sure, the people working at the hotel were nice, considering the state of this hotel. The shuttle service worked out fine, the people at the front desk gave good suggestions on places to eat. The bathroom in our room was not very nice - the only hotel bathroom worse than this I have ever seen was reminiscent of the bathroom from the movie Saw (although missing the body). Our room was also next to the dumpsters, so we were woken up early by the trash being taken away.
