Right next to our room the people were noisy a lot but at 3:00 am was the worst.Trucks not parked safely by our vehicle. We had to move our vehicle away from our door. A different room would possibly have been better. Won't rent there again. None of our phones could charge at night. Plugins not working.

I do not recommend it

The staff is friendly, but that's it. We had to ask for clean sheets because when we arrived, we found them soiled (blood, stains, hair). The included breakfast wasn't even worthy of feeding a dog and the dishes were dirty if not missing. We were woken up at 11:30 PM by a drill and hammer in the room above us. I chose this hotel for its location close to the hospital, but I would not recommend anyone to spend their convalescence there. Property is really not a priority for this location.

My initial reservation was shuffled to another building. Although the room had been updated, and was clean, the bathroom was nice, the room was shabby. No face cloths or additional TP was provided in the bathroom and although I did advance check-in online, the whole process was frustrating confusing, and time consuming

When I arrived there was nobody at the front desk. I called them at least 7 times and nobody answered. I had to go outside and flag down a staff member. The garbage cans were overflowing. The breakfast room was unsightly. The room was OK, the water was hot, the TV worked well. But someone had kicked in the door at some point, and there was an unsightly fix. But at least it was economical.

I paid cash in full for my entire stay. 1st room did not have any towels or garbage bags in the garbage can. I went to wash my hands and the sink was clogged. The coffee maker in the room was a single serve using a special coffee pad that you could only get from the hotel (I requested a full-size coffee maker when I made the reservation). After walking around the hotel room for about an hour the bottom of my white socks were brown. I requested another room. I was told that I could be transferred to another room the next day. next day I was transferred to another room. In the new room I turned on the TV and there was no channels just white static. A staff member came up and fixed the tv in 10-15min. I then had a shower. After my shower the bathtub taps didn’t completely shut off and was leaking water out of the bathtub faucet. I called the front desk and informed them that I had enough of being put in two consecutive substandard rooms and that I was checking out. I wanted a refund for the remaining nights that I had paid for. I was told that a refund could only be issued with the authorization of the manager. I was told the manager couldn’t be contacted because she was in India. I told the rep to call. I finally got the remaining days refunded. After leaving I got a email from my bank saying my credit card was charged almost $400.00 by the hotel (after I had already paid and had checked out). I returned to the front desk and got my money refunded back to my credit card.

You get what you pay for.

Run down motel needs some tlc. Breakfast options mostly ran out within the first 45 minutes, never refilled. Reception said the customers took too much and there was nothing left to restock. Room was 25C with the heat completely turned off, Reception said they would be up to assist, never showed. We had to open both windows wide - not a safe idea at a motel. Only one washcloth for two people, bathroom grout and trim black with mildew/mold. Positive: within walking distance to hospital, good WiFi, staff generally pleasant.
