Room was very clean. Accessaries are basic, but we really didn’t need the extra stuffs. A clean room and particularly clean bedding are the most important things for us.

We stayed in room 206 and it was pretty decent and comfortable for 1 night. The a/c unit worked great all night, the room does have hardwood floors and it was clean. The lampshades were outdated and dirty. It does have a desk to work on and there’s a TV. No small fridge . Bathroom was cleaned. There’s only soap bars, no shampoo in the shower.

Worstplace i have ever stayed

Horrible place to stay. People hanging out in the hallway all night long. Broken furniture, tv did not work, it smelled weird, neighbors were loud,. The pictures on hotels.com did not match the rooms at all.
