Cheap price, but you get what you pay for.

The staff did the best they could, but it was not overall a pleasant stay. Despite their best efforts to keep people from smoking, you could smell marijuana smoke coming through the vents, and the lock on my first floor window had been removed so that the previous occupant could presumably smoke out of it. The manager was able to install a lock on the window upon request, but overall, not a great place in not a great part of town. The breakfast was... present, and I guess you get what you pay for. There is also no elevator, which is a consideration if you have a lot of heavy bags. I switched to the first floor for that reason. Unfortunately, would not repeat.

The employees had great hospitality, easy check in and out. The room was very nice, clean and quiet for a one night stay. The breakfast could be better, overall though no complaints!

Everything seemed fine. The room and property smelled weird, and the air conditioner in our room (103) wasn't running well and probably needs to be replaced.

When we checked in, the front desk staff went to check the room to make sure that the room was ready. When we got into the room, there was no toilet paper and tissues. She gave me one roll of toilet paper, and a box of with two pieces of tissues left.
