This was a good value for money option. The staff were friendly. The room was clean. It's is close to a main road and railway track so if you are sensitive to noise ask for a room on the other side from it. I heard it but didn't particularly bother me. Not much around the hotel but again I don't have need for anything so didn't bother me. Breakfast was fresh and had a decent selection. Would recommend if you want value for money.

The place is a dump. Bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way. Toilet barely flushed. Carpets are filthy. Bathroom towels are basically garage rags.

The faucet leaked while running, which was a minor annoyance and the access panel to the AC/Heater was broken, making it difficult to access the controls. Aside from this the room was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good, though they could probally use another waffle iron, as it was in use non stop.

The room was surface clean. There was what looked like a blood stain in the carpet if our room. The first morning around 11 some housing insecure/crack and alcohol secure folks yelling obscenities in our hallway. They then went out in front of the building n drink bickerd at like noise level 10. This went on for 30 ish minutes. I spent about 30 minutes in the car in the parking lot smoking by cancer sticks. There was always some questionable looking activity happening in and from a vehicle. The cleaning lady was aggressively off putting. I asked for an additional towel, she said I couldn’t have one unless I gave her a dirty one. I took a garbage bag off her cart and she scolded me😂. She then antagonized our exit for an hour every time I left the room for any reason. Everyone I encountered at the front desk was nice and helpful. The breakfast was adequate. The sausage looked like inedible. It was the only protein option.

Big room with small furniture. Lots of empty floor space. The dresser drawers wouldn't stay closed, and the rod in the closet was broken. Dim lighting in the bathroom and over the vanity. Broken tiles in the bathroom.

The check in process was quick and easy. But upon entering the room I was checking it out and getting settled and the front desk clerk attempted to e in ter the room! She had a bottle of some kind of cleaner and was probably coming to clean something. S the e apologized and left. It was literally to t 90 seconds after checking in. Parking lot is small and tight for parking

While the WiFi didn't work immediately, a phone number for assistance was provided in the room and within 5 minutes a live person (off-site) was able to get my connection working. I was positively impressed. The price is fair and I would stay here again.
