I’ll start by the positives: location was nice a few blocks from downtown and the beds were spacious but very uncomfortable; you could feel the springs every time you moved. Also the walls are paper thin, we could literally hear the person next door snoring all night and them turning on a faucet upstairs. The rooms are well equipped with a fridge and microwave but there is no AC or even fan so it can get a bit stuffy with no air circulation, I’d u open the curtains everyone can see inside your room, they don’t have the sheer curtains to block visual. The shower has no pressure. Also keep in mind if you have pets the fee is per dog per night so if you’re staying a while it can add up quickly. Overall nice location but wouldn’t stay here again, just not worth the price for what you get. You can stay at some of the chain hotels with more accommodations like pool and breakfast for quite a lot less money.

Great stay, just one little issue.

My only complaint was the mattress seemed kinda old because the springs made noise every time I turned over or on my sides.
