Room was clean and comfortable, just a little old and no stairs. Front desk was very nice. Breakfast was decent. I think our neighbors were smoking pot in their room so we had to deal with that smell. I contacted the front desk and she said she would investigate. The smell did get better after that so I don’t know if it was because she confronted them or my husband putting the towel under the door.

This budget hotel is subpar even for a budget hotel. It was poorly kept. Our room had such an eye and nose burning smell of cleaning products it felt like a health hazard, and our eyes burned the whole next day. It was dingy with very low ceilings. The walls were thin, and the TV was really old (no Netflix ect). The staff was friendly, but We won’t be back.

I would stay here again.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, not to hard and not to soft. It was quiet. The breakfast was adequate & service was good and friendly. The hotel is being renovated & we were on the side that is not finished yet so we had no vending machine on our side. I didn’t like that the closest way to breakfast from building E was across the courtyard into the next building. I suggest they don’t put senior citizens that far from the lobby.

Felt dirty, poor service.

We had to wait for someone to come to the front desk for probably 10 minutes, there were 7 people in the lobby waiting. No apology when they arrived to the desk that they had us waiting. The room was not clean, there was hair in the bathroom & the floor felt unclean. The whole hotel felt sketchy/dirty. The breakfast was very lacking. Will not stay here again.

Very nice facility, good breakfast. Worst part of stay was trying to take a shower with no water coming out of the sprayer. At the desk, they said it was a common problem. If a common problem, why don't they fix it by replacing the sprayers?
