The staff was nice. The room was run down. The mattress had a big stain on it and It was dirty in between them. Breakfast was very limited - Bagel and dry cereal. The area did not ‘feel’ safe. To just sleep for the night, it did the job.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The amenities in the room would have been better than average, if they had worked correctly. The refrigerator was larger than average and included a freezer. The microwave worked, but the timer was broken. The air conditioner was very noisy. It was beyond control of the property that it was on a busy road and noisy roadworks were underway at night. It is pet friendly and we were able to bring our beagle on the trip.

The room stunk. And then when we went to the office they was 3 cops and van there loading a bunch up. I left and stayed in a different hotel bc I wasn’t feeling safe enough to stay there with my son. Also when you lift the mattress big pee stain. So no way I was staying there or ever telling someone to stay there.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was fine, but there was night construction on the street in front. I checked in at night alone and the guests were loud and attempting to talk to me. The noise could be heard all night within the room. I was warned by a rideshare driver that this was a sketchy part of town and to be careful of people in this area. You definitely get what you pay for.

I paid for a smoking room and paid extra for it to find out on check-in that one was not available. I was still charged the smoking room rate. The TV would not work at all.The room was decent and appeared clean, but your bare feet were very dirty after walking on the floor. Staff was pleasant.
