As a frequent traveler all across the United States, I have stayed at many hotels, both upscale and regular facilities. To find a hotel in a city near a big highway for less than $100 a night is very unusual nowadays. Unfortunately, this is a clear case of "you get what you pay for." We had 2 rooms. We were there for a couple of nights during the week. The room key magnetic cards kept on failing, the safe in my room did not work, there were splotches of unmatching paint in the hallways, there was chipped paint on the door frames, there was a smell both in the hallway and in my room, the elevators are dingy, and there were other issues. There were no USB charging ports in the room to charge up our cellphones. The main entrance, because of the layout of this hotel, is the back entrance. Alas, when we first entered, there was a woman smoking a cigarette on a bench next to the entrance, about 5 ft away from the "no smoking" signs. She did not seem to be ruffled by our presence. I did not get to try the breakfast, but the people with whom I was traveling did try the breakfast, the continental breakfast, and did not like it very much. You can get a hot breakfast for an extra $10 per night, something which we did not try. When you arrive in the back parking lot, you notice that there are balconies for most of the rooms. As the hotel is sort of situated on a hill, this offers the potential of a view from your balcony. However, all of the balconies in the hotel are sealed off, presumably because of the coronavirus crisis. Why they have not reopened the balconies now is unclear. One of the few saving graces was that the staff were friendly. We actually ended up checking out a night early because of what we uncovered about this place.
