Everything was ok except for that there wasn't a security lock for the inside of room 211. There also a visible space in the door from the outside giving me concerns about the security of that door. Otherwise the experience was quite pleasant.

Not very good place to stay

The stay was sub-par in every way, even in cleanliness. The room was huge which was nice and it did have a small fridge and microwave. But the TV didn’t have any apps and had very few channels. The sheets and towels were clean but the overall feel was not of super clean like usually in a hotel room. I think hotel guests were staying on the 2nd floor (no elevator so if you have a wheelchair or can’t do stairs this is NOT the place for you) and I think the bottom part of the place was for those with homeless vouchers. We will not be staying there again.

Smelly hallway, Ok room.

The room was ok, seemed clean and neat. We really liked the Shampoo and Soap, since it seemed organic/healthy. The Hallway smelled terrible, there was definitely a strong cigarette smell in there. We tried to hold our breaths while going in and out, and up and down the stairs every time we left our room. About half of the cars parked there looked like they lived at the motel. This place should not be called an Inn or Suite, as that's deceiving. It's a yucky motel. and I paid about $109 in total for it. Had I known, I wouldn't have paid more than $75 for the place. The Clerk/manager was ok. There was no continental breakfast - all the food dispensers, including coffee machine, were out of order.

No hot water. People next door stayed up all night talking loudly heard wvery word. The do not disturb sign was on the outdoor handle. I stepped out side for a minute to get something out of my car and the clean crew was in my room and could understand what they were saying I pointed to the sign and they couldnt read it as unfortunately I don’t think they spoke English. Very unsettling as I had my purse out and my laptop sitting on the bed.

The rooms are right at the street and people cut through the parking lots. I had someone right outside my room on phone call for 45 min with the call on speaker at 10 pm. No one offered me any assistance to ask this person to go elsewhere it doesn’t appear that they were even a guest at the hotel.
