I actually really enjoyed my stay. Check-in was a breeze. I got into my room safely. The room was clean and very spacious which is a lot to ask out of a lot of these hotels. The bed was COZY ! another great perk of this hotel. I’ve stayed in rooms where the bed was rock solid. So the bed was a great bonus. Tv, microwave, and mini fridge all worked well. Separate space for the restroom separate from the “kitchenette”. Plenty of space and storage for luggage. Great stay ! I recommend. The only discrepancy I would have were the surrounding neighbors. They didn’t seem to be the “cleanest” people around. A little shady. However, I also saw families with children and as long as you keep to yourself I feel like it’s a great stay for a short-stay.

Room was very clean. Accessaries are basic, but we really didn’t need the extra stuffs. A clean room and particularly clean bedding are the most important things for us.

We stayed in room 206 and it was pretty decent and comfortable for 1 night. The a/c unit worked great all night, the room does have hardwood floors and it was clean. The lampshades were outdated and dirty. It does have a desk to work on and there’s a TV. No small fridge . Bathroom was cleaned. There’s only soap bars, no shampoo in the shower.

Worstplace i have ever stayed

Horrible place to stay. People hanging out in the hallway all night long. Broken furniture, tv did not work, it smelled weird, neighbors were loud,. The pictures on hotels.com did not match the rooms at all.

Would not recommend, and frankly I’m not sure how this hotel passes inspections. Felt unsafe and didn’t even spend 5 mins in the room to know that my family was not going to stay. Photos are deceiving!
