Walkable but Worn Out

The room is extremely worn. The area is very noisy, loud live music until after 10 on Thursday night. Location was very walkable.

Cute and comfortable place in a great location

We didn't expect many amenities from this 2-star inn, but it did meet our other expectations: clean, comfortable, and safe. It exceeded our expectations when we walked in and saw how spacious the room was, and then how it was within walking distance to shopping at Heavenly and other restaurants. Only stayed one night, so had minimal staff interactions, but they were super friendly.

I stayed here for a week to attend a course. The location is great and I loved the size of the fridge in my room as it enabled me to keep the food on hand I needed for breakfast and lunch. The room was spacious and clean but the bed a bit soft. All in all, for the price it’s great value and I’d stay here again.

Considering it's close to a busy area, it's pretty quiet. Room and furniture are a bit older, but functional. Bed is not super comfortable, but not horrible either. The biggest complaint I have is that there are not power outlets by the bed to charge your electronics. There is an outlet but it is use by a lamp and an internet router. The other outlet is way behind the table on the other side of the room and impossible to get to. This is easily solved if you can get some new lamps that have USB ports and power outlets on them.

The staff at check in and check out were very sweet and friendly. The room was decent size with two queen beds. the bigger fridge was great. the bathroom was fine, luckily there was a window that looked out to a brick wall to we were able to leave it over since there is no fan in the bathroom. the toilet and tub were slow draining/flushing. The pool/hot tub was under construction, which kinda of sucked for the summer but oh well. decent place to stay and very close to everything. Tons of Lime scooters which helped with getting to the casinos a lot faster.
