A Clean Indian-American Owned Hotel!

We asked the staff to show us a room for cleanliness before we booked as we have had several filthy, uncleaned rooms at eco/budget-friendly hotels owned by Indian-Americans. This owner empathized with us and understood our concern and proced he provided a different establishment. I do think they cpuld have vaccummed the floor (better) and made sure the hallways didnt smell like Indian food but the lobby was rennovated, super clean and snelled great! A few minor repairs could be done to our room but the bed didnt have any bed bugs, hairs or crumbs on them, they had actually been changed and apprared/looked clean!

Will stay again

Staff was helpful and friendly. I was staying here for business but was also able to have family come and visit. Walking into the lobby, there is a terrific smell. I spent 4 nights and decided to get a larger room with a sofa and mini kitchen. We stay here usually 2 - 3 times a year. They also accept pets for a charge. The only place I found to be somewhat dirty was the elevator carpet. Otherwise the hotel was great!

Good, but small rooms

Overall good stay. Probably wouldn't stay again only because room was so small. We requested a queen bed, but felt like a full size. This is fine for 1 person.

Hotel needs work

This hotel needs work. Stains on the carpet in the stairwell; floor of the bathtub was grey (soap scum?); duvets need cleaning; sheets were thin. Breakfast was mediocre at best. The coffee was undrinkable. On a positive note, the staff were very pleasant and the beds are comfortable. We would not return to this hotel.
