Clean room...however, pretty sparse room and the lights switch next to bed is broken. The toilet is this little tiny mini one, barely usable. Never seen one so low and small. The hot water only remained hot for a few moments, so my hot bath wasn't hot. That was a big disappointment and highly unusual. Honestly, this room ought to be highly discounted for these reasons. I will ask for one when I check out.

Staff were helpful and pleasant to deal with. Breakfast is tea or coffee, no milk/cream, only powdered coffee whitener. There is a choice of juices from a self-serve machine, and a choice of 2 prepackaged pastries. Of our 4 days there, 2 of the days had no coffee available. You can get hot water any time of day if you bring you bring your own tea etc.

The hotel room was very dated, very few amenities. But you can see that from the photos. I was happy with how clean it was-didn’t smell bad, just stale air kind of smell. The ac unit didn’t work properly, and I was told by the office that it’s just how it was. The person who checked me in and checked me out were both very nice. The person I spoke with was not as pleasant, nor the person I had to ask for toilet paper. It says housekeeping is included, but they only came by on the morning after our first night, not to be seen again

The property says it has wifi however it didn't work for the duration of my stay. I informed the front desk twice over the 2 days I was there. They said they would reboot the modem but it the internet never connected. The water was cold. Even when the shower was at full blast with only the hot faucet turned on the warmest it got was tepid at best. My keycard lost connection after I was out for an event. The front desk reactivated it when I gave them my room number without even asking my name. Anyone could come with an old keycard and get access to the rooms since they do no verification before giving keys.

I shouldve just slept in my car. Waited 20 minutes in the lobby for someone to finally show up. Had to shove the couch against my door so i would feel safe. Really loved the huge firework that was let off at 1130pm. Thought someone was shooting at my door. Breakfast is literally a honeybun. Please save your money and go some place else.
