Dude who was on duty Saturday night was rarely at the front desk. Water station ran out and nobody refilled it. (We had to grab a half-open jug of water and poor into our cups) No soap, shampoo in bathrooms. Only 1 towel in private room. No lock on bathroom stall door. Overall, falling apart, not taken care of. Need more people to give the place some love and care.

The Hotsel is absolutely amazing in term of location, cleanliness and staff helpfulness and accommodation! The only and also a major complaint is the locker provided along with the room. The provided number combination works sometimes and cause problem twice that needed assistance from staff, which is not available after hour.

It's a good hostel. The bed was softer-cushiony than any stay I had at chain motels and hotels in the past 10 years. I will stay there again. I had a private room for my wife and me. My car was safe in their lot.

Excellent service with affordable price

Comfortable place if you’re looking for something affordable without fuss. There’s no 24-7 front desk but management is very responsive via phone. Relatively clean. People just need to follow the rules and keep common area clean. Most people bring their dirty habits with when they travel, but for the most part, the facility does well with keeping the property clean and safe. I have been here a few times and plan for more stays.

You get what you pay for!

This will get ya what you pay for. Quick overnight stay is what we needed. We paid for a private room, but the staff didn’t know if our room was private or not which we were concerned about cause there were socks on the floor and unmade beds. The ceilings were also not enclosed, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, good one night’s sleep and a shower.
