You get what you pay for.

This is basically a motel. Room was clean but smelled like cheap cleaning product. It is next to a very busy street so it never got quiet at night. Also the heating unit was very noisy. Neighborhood is not the best. Basically a cheap stay but you get what you pay for. Not a true bargain.

Boutique-tech Hotel with drinks on the side

This was a great boutique-tech hotel. There was no in person staff to greet me but they did have a person on screen to help check me in, and scan my ID. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be and got a code for my room instead of a key. The room was comfy and the hotel is super cute. If you're missing a hotel bar you can head 3 doors down to the right to Route 92 Sports Bar and hang out with the locals for cocktails.

Unfortunately, we had a very horrifying experience with the person that stayed next door to us. It was approximately 12 midnight when he stormed out his room and came banging on our door and even kicked it very hard. We were going to call the police, but he returned to his room. We could not sleep the rest of the night we were so scared.

noisy motel

this is a motel: paper thin walls. car park is in the middle so hear everything: car doors, tv & shower next door. the room was fine, except for the peeling laminate on the floor. heavy smell of chlorine (went away after opening bathroom window for a day). no human assistance/service premises. on the positive side, new mattress, clean sheets, plumbing all working, could be worse

Not as advertised

Check in was completely remote. No onsite support whatsoever. Room was tiny, not like the pictures advertised. Coffee counter/working desk was dirty. Bathroom was dirty also. You’re better off staying at a Motel 6! Room also had a weird Oder/smell. We lasted an hour and left for a different hotel.

Very clean and nice updated interior. Strange check in though as there is no staff on site so you use a screen to access a person who checks you in. Didn’t effect our stay at all but important to know.

Every thing was okay, we have stayed here many times without issue, but this time our room shower, had no hot water at all. Im not exaggerating, not even luke warm. We had to take freezing cold showers. Not so great after a 2 day sports event. I was hoping the hotel would make it right somehow, but they just said " sorry " .
