Booked a premium room with queen size bed but was told they only have double. Not sure what we paid the extra for. Front door is not seal hence we can smell weed periodically throughout the night. The room is very small, and not clean. The shower is super small. Hairdryer is broken. Parking is a joke, there are only about 6 parking spot and the rest they use as storage. Overall we will not be returning there.

Excellent stay. Front desk was friendly, informative and helpful throughout my stay. Getting ahold of front desk from room or by cell phone did prove to be difficult.

There's people selling and doing drugs in the open prostitution was rampant. The skylight was leaking during a rain storm. The floors are sticky. There's blood stains on the fabric in the bed and the entrance is supposed to be secure, but everybody props it open. It felt very unsafe I couldn't sleep.

Functional

All staff members were nice. It is a very old inn and in desperate need of upgrades. Location is good for where I needed to go on foot. The free parking was a plus. It did come with a TV, Microwave, fridge and coffee maker. All functioning. The furniture is very old but they were in the middle of getting a large delivery and what could be upgrades for the furniture in the rooms. Overall not a bad stay but it not luxurious what so ever.

I’ve stayed here many times over the years and it seems to have really gone downhill this time. There were holes in the walls and missing paint on most walls. There was no toilet paper holder, just holes where one used to be. The floors didn’t seem clean and there was something smeared on the wall in the bathroom.

This is a motel. Nothing more. Broken ice machine; room walls dirty; towels dingy. But there was a working microwave and fridge in the room so that was nice. A bleak place but neighborhood has some interesting places. Parking on site is a plus. And contrary to the website, they obviously offer no breakfast and the parking fee may or may not be included.

Property was decent. Very nice furnished rooms. Seems like they were remodeled recently. The staff and service were friendly and accommodating. Found some ants in the bathroom during one of my days which was unpleasant and there was water leaking from around the sink. The internet service was also quite bad and could not watch tv without it buffering.
