The bathroom was not sufficiently clean when we arrived. The bathtub had hair. Otherwise the room was clean. The Trash can on each floor was overflowing on a regular basis and needed more frequent emptying. The kitchen was a definite positive. After two nights of noise above, the staff was able to move us to the 4th floor which was much appreciated. This was an economical no frills option that meet our needs.

Room was clean. Staff was wonderful. The free breakfast is done muffins, oatmeal packets, and granola bars. The coffee was ok. We didn't have a shower curtain and had to wait until after 8 am when housekeeping got in. The charger/outlet between the beds had some sort of timer. My CPAP kept shutting off like every hours and a half.

We got a room on the 2nd floor, when we entered the elevator it smelled like trash and when we arrived on our floor it really smelled like trash. The trash bin in front of the elevator was overflowing and it smelled of trash the entire 5 days of my stay. There were no amenities in the room, and it was not clear upon check-in that we could get toiletries and kitchenette items. The quality of the rooms were dusty and it seemed like it had been a while since the room received a service. Overall the space was sufficient for the stay but I won’t recommend this to location to anyone.
