Check in was easy. Front desk was very friendly. Room was a bit run down but not terrible. However, we killed 8 roaches in our room. Two were in the shower with my husband. There was also train nearby that ran all night and a lot of road noise. I won't stay at this location again.

The room had an unpleasant odor, and the bathroom could have been cleaner. We had to request new sheets because the originals smelled terrible. We also noticed some cockroaches. Unfortunately, my son woke up with two large bleeding bites on his leg, and the sheets had blood stains, which made us think he got bitten by some kind of bug. We reported the issues the next day when we found the bites and cockroaches, but no solution was offered. The only positive part of our stay was the front desk attendant, who was very kind and helped us right away with clean linens.

Don’t recommend

There were roaches in the room. I woke up at 4:30am because one was crawling on me. Other guests were very loud until well after midnight and we had to call the desk to get them to be quiet. Not a very restful stay.
