  : Hotel location was ideal for my needs.
  : Receptionist that checked me in was rude and selling, Body language and lack of even a basic courteous "hello"was rather disappointing.Same receptionist and another male staff where openly wrapping and smoking what smelled like marijuana outside on the premises of the hotel.

  : I didn’t read the reviews of this hotel until after I had already booked the room and I’m glad I hadn’t because they would have deterred me from staying.The good: cheap place to lay your head, close to plenty of establishments, comfortable bed with clean bedding, TV worked, AC was on point, pool was open and it was not extremely noisy.The bad: I’m not sure the floors have ever been swept in the room, especially the bathroom, and the room surely hasn’t been dusted in quite some time. The bathroom - please address the dirty bathroom. The shower and toilet were at least clean, but there was still toothpaste on the countertop from a previous guest that was covered up with a hand towel, behind the door looked like a sandpit and mold all over the ceiling. Whoever is in charge of housekeeping needs to be replaced as, per the reviews, this has been an ongoing issue. The “breakfast” was extremely unappealing and should not be listed as “breakfast included” at booking but rather “pre-packaged pastries available in the morning”. If you have any dietary restrictions, good luck with your options. You’re hit with a heavy marijuana stench as soon as you open the door to the lobby. That doesn’t bother me but it’s not great to walk into either. Lastly, the $100 or $150 deposit fee (still not sure which one it is, email says $150, paper at front desk says $100) is not mentioned until AFTER you book and should be something that is addressed at time of booking.The staff were not overly friendly but also were not rude by any means. Despite the lengthy “bad” part of this review, for $77, I’d stay here again, pending I get my deposit back.

  : The front desk is not too professional, I understand it is a Super 8 and I'm not expecting 5 stars accommodations nor service, but they need to work more on friendliness of the staff and specially knowledge of their hotel. The breakfast was very limited, but at least the room was clean. What was VERY concerning is the security of the hotel at night, the back door to the hotel was not closed until way past midnight and there were people outside smoking weed and getting high, the smell of the marihuana in the halls was very strong. Will not come back again. Thankfully we just stayed 1 night. Thank you.
