Will not recommend.

Very run down and smelled horrible. If i wasn't exhausted and not able to travel any further, I would have found another place but it was too late. The staff in the lobby was super nice and breakfast was better than expected. But would not recommend.

There were people right outside my balcony yelling to each other at 4 am. I would have liked a few more weight-lifting options in the gym. Otherwise, great stay, and most economical!

Quick visit

They are Eco-friendly so when you get in your room it's hot they don't turn the AC's on. Even in the lobby it was warm. Overall for the price it wasn't bad.
