The room didn't have any soap just a small bag of shampoo, the shower seemed a bit dirty on the walls, there were only 2 towels for 2 people. I liked the bed it was sturdy, nice firm, soft just not too soft. It was a good stay.

Overall it was good, the only thing was, that the curtains are light color and we would think at 4:00 am it was already 8:00 too bright for our likes but other than that it was great.

The owner of the property is sexist. From the moment we started speaking when I got to the hotel he was exceedingly rude to the point that I had to have my husband come up to the window and speak to the owner of the property he attempted to charge us for our service animals and upon my husband stating that that was illegal he then proceeded to charge us an outside fee or deposit of $25 which was stated nowhere which we ultimately paid because we were tired and wanted to get our dogs inside and getting some sleep the accommodations were nasty the surrounding area was gross

That housekeeper should be fired. She put all these boxes at the back of the stairwell which was in front of the room that I was in. She doesn't rinse out the mop and mops with a dirty mop. And she kept making noise instead of taking stuff out to the dumpster it was all in front of our room. My cat was so freaked out by it that he hid under the couch every time she went down the hallway which was often. She like she was on meth or something.

Not very clean, kinda skanky. I'd say the emphasis is on "budget". But, check in was quick, easy, and polite, the area was quiet, the bed was firm and seemed pretty clean. OK for a quick overnight before or after crossing the border, but I will probably look elsewhere next time.
