Every single person that works here is super friendly. The manager is a real nice guy and the house keepers work hard to keep the rooms clwan. I literally saw one of the ladies climb on top of the counter to clean above the cabinets, wow!

Neat and convenient

A little hard to find (no signage). It was convenient once we found it but the shower head needs to be replaced and the light in the gym needs to stay on. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.

We ended up booking another property after seeing the condition, and talking to the rude front desk operator. We didn’t have the option for a refund, but decided we would rather stay at a clean decent place.

Meh.

I understand it’s a budget hotel. However, the photos are outdated. The gym has 3 rickety old machines and there is no breakfast offered as advertised in the photos. Not a dealbreaker, but the facility should update the descriptions and photos so customers can have an adequate expectation.

This property looks nothing like the pictures. I did not feel safe so I had to book another reservation. The front desk clerk was nice though. The spaces are outdated and gives “dirty”. The bottom of the doors are dirty and everyone is loud. The furniture in the room are not the best. This property is the definition of “you get what you pay for”.
