Dingy and uncomfortable

Our room was ill-equipped with threadbare towels, no wash cloths, bath mat nor body wash. This is the only time ive stayed in a hotel that did not have an iron. The bed was creaky and uncomfortable with three super thin pillows provided on the king bed. I still don't understand how this hotel has good reviews.

I liked the staff and some of the few amenities they had such as the flat screens, mini fridge and AC and laundry facility. However our bathroom door wasn't even able to latch and there was only one full size bath towel even though we reserved the room for two adults

This property was more than I expected for the price I paid. The room was very clean and showers were hot the way I like them. The air conditioner worked well enough to keep the room cool. The main hallways can use come carpet care and air freshener but for the price its a minor detail. I would recommend this place to people passing through and just need some where to sleep for the night.

If you just need a cheap and okay place to spend one night, go for it. The breakfast was nothing to brag about, and honestly I’m not sure the sheets were changed after each guest (but I told myself they were and moved on). There was construction going on right next to the hotel. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but if you can’t sleep with loud noises, this might not be the best choice. The construction was happening day and night. Luckily, no one in my group had trouble sleeping. The staff was super nice! They do charge a $50 deposit, but I got it back without any issues.
