I liked it a lot at first despite it was sketchy. The first room was so nice I asked about weekly rates: $375/$400 deposit. I pay for the first week, she moves me to a bare bones room with ONE lamp a 27\" tv, and NO amenities! I accepted it since the price was right and I just needed a place to lay my head in the city.

Right off the bat, I will say that I definitely would and more than likely will end up staying here again. It's not in a good neighborhood. It does not look inviting and even looks less inviting when you take your first steps inside. However, everything changes once you open the door to your room. My room was very clean, had modern furniture, and even had a combo refrigerator/freezer and a microwave. Lady working up front was very nice and helpful.

The place is a bit run down outside. The hotel is not fully staffed, so when an issue arises like you need more towels or a plunger or something isn't working right, there's no one to contact. Otherwise it's ok to stay at. It's a bed with a roof over your head.
The shower did have bodywash and shampoo. The room also has a fridge.

There is a non functional pool. But, once that is operational it will be a nice amenity. The staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated the punch key locks for the room and outer door entrance.

Do not come If you need any handicap services. No elevator. Had to drag lugguge up stairs - no baggage cart. We came at night and front parking lot had little lighting. Did not see any handicap parking at that time. Next day, seen two vacant handicap parking spots and parked my car there. I was waken by staff to move my car because delivery vehicles would be coming all day.

While the facilities were in good condition, there was a great deal of noise and disruption from the neighbors. Multiple fights audible enough to disrupt sleep in the middle of the night, one random woman knocking on my door at 4 AM looking for someone I'd never heard of. Not sure that any of it is the property's fault per se besides perhaps inadequate soundproofing, but it seems worth sharing.

Pulled up and the place appears to be under construction or very poorly maintained. When I first walked in the door the front desk employee was being screamed at by a guest, the pool was empty and tore up, and it smelled like cooking meat.

I pulled up my Google Maps later to find some food, found out there’s basically a brothel next door, traffic never seemed to stop but it was fitting for everything else going on in this area.

Overall, would not recommend unless you’re like me, just looking for a quick, cheap spot to stay between travel nights.

My wife and I chose this place based on the photos and the initial reviews, but upon our arrival I was more disappointed than anything. The inn is old and poorly maintained. The old saying, \"if you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig\" was never more fitting than here. From the outside, the signage and parking lot were not very welcoming. There was a half eaten box of chicken in the parking lot as well as an old mattress in the front parking lot corner. Basic maintenance could have solved this problem. It was even worse once we entered the inn. Don't let the pictures fool you. Our room was not even close to looking that nice. Our room was in an obscure corner...more like a closet. The walls were painted cinder blocks with a ground level window looking into a poorly maintained rear parking lot. Our bathroom was also like a closet with only enough room to turn around. The owner attempted to paint the tub, toilet and vanity to make it look nice...They should have been replaced. There were 2 piece of candy on the bed...they looked like they have been there for years. They have a pool, but is all torn up and unusable. The inn smelled and it was clear the owners tried to cover it up with wick diffusers and plug-ins all over the place. Given the poor condition of this inn, my wife and I decided not to stay and left the same night we checked in. I preferred to drive the 2+ hours home instead of staying here. Do yourself a favor and look for a different place to stay.

This feels like a \"rent by the week\" kind of place. There's definitely a few folks living here. I know you get what you pay for. I'm paying for it. Can hear televisions on both adjacent sides. Can hear neighbor's conversations. Reviews were decent so i gambled. Oops. Says check-in is until 9PM. Arrived at 7PM. No one at desk so I ring Ring bell. No one comes. Ring again. Wait. No signs of life. After three rings, call phone number posted at desk. Call number and a woman answers and says someone will be down. No one comes. Ring bell again, wait another 5 min. Call number again. She says she'll be right down. 5 minutes later she arrives. Took her another 7-10 minutes to check me in. Place reeks like stale cigarettes and grandma-scented oil sticks dipped in grandpa's linament oil. \"Residents\" who pay by the week must write these reviews because place is close to horrific. Hair in tub. Dirty bathroom floor. No room keys. Keypad lock and I wonder if they even change the code? Have a tripod and chair blocking door. Oh year, the pool is closed, tagged and deemed unsafe by order of the health dept. No carts, no elevator. No screen or lock in window. Floors dirty. Bedcover is dirty. Curtains are filthy. TV remote probably never washed, buttons caked with grease and crumbs. I FEEL ITCHY.

The staff were really welcoming and accommodating, even though I arrived late and had special needs, which was great! The common areas were really pretty, clean, and nicely updated. Breakfast was simple but good. My bed was comfy and there was great water pressure! The linens were scentless or close to it so I didn't get a rash from the detergent--hard to come by at this price range, and that made me happy. However, the room smelled like old cigarettes and the bathroom was scary in its moldiness--the ceiling was full of it to the extent the ceiling was flaking off in places due to damage. There was a burning smell when I ran the bathroom fan. I'm not sure if it was just because I came late and got one of the last two rooms of the night, but I would have appreciated my room being renovated more before being considered fit for guests. My room did not uplift my spirits. I've stayed at a lot of motels and if all the rooms at this property are like mine, then I can't recommend this property to friends or family, at least until the rooms are updated to match the quality of the common areas. (Even though I would have liked to, for the good parts of the property and its staff.)

During check in, the clerk didn’t give the correct door password so had to come back to get another one. She did this to the guest who checked in before me as well.

Also, after checking in, I went to look around Madison and get some dinner. After I had dinner, I came back and there were no parking in the front so parked in the back. It was raining and there is no entrance except for the front entrance. Had to walk around the building and getting wet from the rain with hands full of things.

Then, when I tried to get into the room, the door was locked. Someone was in my room! I was knocking and a man opened the door. Front desk closes at 9p and he was arriving after that time. So he said he received a message with the same room number and code. We spent half an hour trying to get ahold of someone to figure this out. Finally someone responded and he got another room. I wanted to say something but I didn’t get the number he had and it was almost midnight and I was tired asf. Just wanted to call it a day. Will say something in the morning when checking out.

This is going to be a strange review...

It appears this hotel is under new management and a concerted effort to update is underway. On the downside, the pool is disassembled, the outer shell is worn and faded, the sign is almost unreadable.

On the inside, there are new vinyl floors, new paint, new locks, new artwork. The beds are lower end but in good shape. Window AC with only controls on the unit. Breakfast is pre-prepared since there doesn't seem to be a kitchen unit-lots of sweetened cereal, pastries, nice fruit, terrible coffee and no protein. Staff were very sweet, although I didn't see much of them over the two days-there isn't someone at the front desk most of the time.

The area is struggling: lots of older houses, new huge apartment blocks, a Goth music venue, two \"massage parlours\" and an X-rated bookstore. No restaurant in easy walking distance. No grocery store. Rapid transit is good, though, the bus that goes downtown to East Town mall is right outside the door with a weather protected stop.

So, if you just need a place to sleep and you've got your transportation, entertainment and dining under control? Nice place at a great price. If you want a hotel to do more than just give you a place to sleep, look elsewhere.
