Terrible, might suit a lone overnight traveling business person but I wasn't happy. No ice, machine broke in the summer, it's March. Picture showed a big tub but I would not waste the water in my room so small. Breakfast included in a small brown paper bag, Couldn't get a printed receipt from the office and when I checked my bank statement this charge was nearly double. Not happy with your company.

Disrespectful Long term Residents

Check in was nice and easy. The room was clean. But the long term residents in the hotel did not care about anybody else. They were noisy 24 hours per day. Banging on each others doors, talking loudly in the hall, extremely loud tv’s, and screaming children at all hours. The room next to hours had a baby screaming for 3 hours straight starting at 10pm. Someone even called my room at midnight. Would not stay again.

Older hotel, relatively clean. Beware of breakfast

We had booked a room with 2 queen beds and ended up with 2 double beds. They also charged us more money at check out vs what we paid on hotels.com, apparently due to taxes. Finally, picture of breakfast and breakfast room are false advertising: no access to the room and breakfast given in a take out brown bag with a juice box, a bagged muffin and a yogurt. Will not go back again.

The contact with the cards may be finnacky because of the cold, but I hope it's just that. It took me various tries to get into my room because the doors wouldn't recognize the key, but that aside. it was a lovely stay and I had a wonderful time.
