We've stayed here a couple of times and really like it. The balconies are amazing as we can have food/drinks and the balcony, people watch, and listen to some music that's coming from the van bueren space. Love it

The property is extremely outdated. The photos we saw vs the room we got were completely different. The room was labeled nonsmoking but it smells like it had been smoked in for 20 years. There was mold on the ceiling in the shower area. I planned to stay longer but I woke up so sick I left early. The only good thing was the price and it was in a very convenient area. Housekeeping was very nice and I could tell they were doing the best they could with what they had to work with.

Value motel

It’s the cheapest hotel in central location so for the price it’s hard to go wrong. Big comfy bed, great free wifi, fridge/microwave, even a really convenient dressing table and table+chair for two people. The only real issue we found was a nasty smell in the rooms and the bathrooms are pretty gross - but minor issues for the price.
