Last minute option
The guest receptionist was not friendly. The first non-smoking room he gave smelt like cigarettes, the lights didn’t work, the walls and bed sheets were dirty and the room just looked terrible. Went to the front advised him of my issues and he says let me go to the room with you and check it out. I was like no, I need a newer, cleaner room. He shakes his head and huffs, and gives me a room inside. This room was a little more better. Did t want to keep complaining, since I was only there for 12 hours. Will not be returning here!!! Merrick you can keep this funky place..

The lobby elevator light flickers. Constantly. Literally constantly. Like in a scary movie. Its cartoonishly a sketchy motel from the outside but the rooms arent half bad. Clean and pragmatic, about what i could expect. The front desk guy was pretty chill, gave me some silverware for my takeout.The building however is decrepid and honestly hard to get comfortable in the building. Its a room, itll do you fine. If you can afford the difference to an actual hotel, its probably worth the peace of mind and aesthetics.
