Clean with difficulties

Unfortunately, the WIFI was terrible. We had a student with us taking on line classes. Internet kept dropping. Also the water pressure was awful. It was difficult to take a decent shower. However, due to the cleanliness and comfort we would stay again.

Office closes at 10pm, said to call or text if you would be later. I texted, they responded but then continued to call several times. Room had dirty towels on the chairs and hair on the floor. The beds were so uncomfortable and every time you move the metal bed frame makes horrible noises. They placed us in a corner by the next to the maintenance closet so we were awoken by loud voices right outside our door at 8am. When mentioned to the staff, they were rude and just blew us off.

Typical motel style rooms no black out curtains so if light pollution bothers you that is a consideration but cleanliness, staff friendliness and location all all top notch. Walking distance to a main shopping and restaurant district.

I read reviews on this property, and we were hopeful that it would be a great experience. The room was clean enough; however, the furniture was pretty dated and worn, floors had several obvious flaws, along with shoddy patch jobs on some wall issues; the overall appearance seemed a bit run-down and mediocre, especially for the cost of the room. Beds seem very old and kind of broken down, which is a major negative for me. The area is quiet enough. I don't think we would stay here again, I'm sorry to say. A very mediocre experience for us, and we would not recommend the property to others, based on our stay.
