Great place to have a stay when arriving late to CR or coming back. We arrived in CR at 6 pm and I just wanted a good nights sleep which they delivered. My only suggestion for these folks is update their TV’s. We were in isolated corners of CR and still had access to our Netflix which was a nice comfort at the end of the day.

Disappointing

Absolutely loved the location! I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews but feel that future guests should be aware of what I experienced staying there. I had to pop the sink drain bc it wouldn't stay in place and was horrified with what came out underneath the stopper. I was greeted with hair, slime, and it was disgusting. I almost threw up I was so appalled. I'm not sure when it was cleaned previously but I would not stay again if they paid me. The same goes for the shower inside/out. I ended up cleaning it and left it in better condition then when I arrived. Very disappointing when the motel down the street is cleaner then this place.
This was after rinsing it many many times without the hair attached to it. I wore gloves.
Mold? I'm not sure

This is not a high end hotel (more like Motel6), but for the price, it was great due to proximity to Union St. nightlife.
