Our room needs better lighting; it was difficult to read. Having the king bed in a small room meant there was no table with chairs, which we would have used and enjoyed.

There literally was no soap to even wash your hands. The coffee maker did not make hot coffee. Tried to speak to a manager at 830am but no one was around. Didn't want to leave a review and wanted to talk with managers but no one was around. Pay a little more somewhere else. Do not recommend and will not be returning.

The price was good, but I still expected to have hot water in the bathroom sink and shower. It was ice cold. Also, the maid did not clean the toilet. There was urine all over the rim, as well as a large brown stain in the bowl. Just fyi.

Cute, but not great!

We called to check in over the phone since their office closed at 930p and we wouldn’t be there until midnight. The man who helped us was really nice, checked us in, gave me a room number and a code to enter the room. Then, at 930 pm I got a text saying they are checking us in, gave me a different room number and a different code. We didn’t know where to go and didn’t want to walk in on other people. Very confusing! The rooms were freezing! The space heater was nice, but not enough!

When we first checked in there was someone smoking inches from our door. The smell lasted the rest of the night. Front desk staff said that nothing could be done because the marijuana shop is next door. The room was not great (towels dirty, shower had hair, floors had sticky gunk, could hear all the conversations with rooms next door etc). I guess you get what you paid for, but for us it wasn’t worth the money at all.

A comfortable place to sleep for a reasonable amount of money. It was clean, had good towels and a fridge. On the downside, when I first opened the door to the room, the smell of bleach was almost overwhelming! I had to open the door all the way, along with the bathroom window to get a cross breeze and air the room out. Also, one hinge on the front door was coming loose as it had lost some screws; lastly, there was no toilet paper holder, so the roll had to just sit on the window sill to make it accessible.

The walls were paper thin. I could hear every word spoken by the neighbors on both sides. One of the neighbors was arguing with family all night and all morning. The shower is in working condition however it's not installed well. It's very makeshift. I did not want to use it. The shower floor was warped very bad as well.
