No house keeping even if you stay for 3 weeks. I stayed for 3 weeks in room 110 and they did not clean the room not even one time. I have not seen this kind of attitude anywhere in the country. When I asked them, they said the don't have staff for cleaning. Pathetic..

No room service in this hotel even if you stay for 3 weeks. You have to stay in the room without room cleaning.

Exactly as advertised. Nice, good-looking and spacious rooms. Bed was massive which I enjoyed. Bathroom was very nice. Free parking with plenty of spots. Literally right off I-287 with plenty of life and shopping in the area.

Nice stay very nice employees

Friendly staff, complementary Breakfast.

This property was outdated, the carpets looked very dirty. The hotel states a No Smoking facilty, But the property smells like pure Smoke! Not to mention, there's no elevators

No large sign on the road indicating the location of the hotel.

I like the location and the parking space. I did not like that the hotel only provide small towels.

The FREE(?) breakfast was a terrible disappointment.

If it wasn’t a last minute need to rest, I would’ve went somewhere else. The place was so outdated, ugly, and the choice of colors in everything made me wonder if it was dirty or just old.

No microwave in room.. Have to walk if u want to use one.. That is located at pantry.. If ur back side of building.TV ar not updated

Fairly low budget located where I needed to be. Rooms were clean, bed was comfortable. Towels were lacking. They were there clean and sufficient, but very low quality. It felt like the cheap towels from a cheap low class gym. Breakfast was a packaged muffin, bottle of water and a granola bar. Hey, not complaining. I knew it was low budget.

WiFi didn’t work

Be Advised: There are no elevators for guests to get to the 2nd Floor, yet majority of rooms are on the 2nd Floor. Be Advised: Buyer Beware! They advertize for a free Breakfast. However, it is a small bag. It is First-Come, First-Served. Or better put, "If you snooze, you lose!" This really caused us mental anguish. They should put room numbers on these bags for amount of guests in each room and hand them out. After 10am, give out if no one claims, or they checked out. Stop mistreating your customers with false advertisement. We felt ripped off! No swimming pool. Be advised: Marijuana smoke prevails strongly in hallways and in some rooms even when it is a nonsmoking hotel. Receptionist brushed it off as "Oh well.". This is very unacceptable!!!! Second and third hand smoke made us victims from the unauthorized first hand smoke. Shame on you! No microwaves in the rooms. But there is one mini in the lower hallway for the hole community to use they said. However, Infection control experts say microwaves are a major site for harmful microbes on microwaves. One Ice Machine of two was broke, and the only Dryer was broke. Stairwells were dirty and semi-ugly. Again, no elevators. Nice things: Overall room was decently clean with comfortable beds. Quiet in rooms. And thank you very much for having Fox News Channel! Hot showers. Receptionists were mostly professional. Location was perfect near many popular restaurants and Walmart.

Toilet slow refill. Takes 15-minutes to reflush. TV cable has many channels with static. One ice machine out of order. Clothes dryer is out of order. Smells heavily of marijuana smoke in the hallways two nights in a row, a big no no for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Breakfast is not a real breakfast, but continental. And it is a first-come, first-serve until it is all gone meaning, you snooze you lose even in early awakening. Which defies/contradicta the advertisement of free breakfast. Phone constantly is flashing brightly for messages and randomly rings one time often for no reason. Microwave is a public microwave in the hallway...seems risky. On a good note, rooms were reasonbly clean, noise proof, and the beds were comfortable. Staff were professional. Thanks.

Everything was just right. Definitely a Smoke free hotel.

The staff was absolutely friendly! The room wasn't the worse but I mean I guess you get what you pay. The hallways smelled like marijuana and like someone tried to hide the smell by spraying something and it was disgusting, on all 3 nights we were there. The walls in the room were moldy other than that the rooms were decent.
