Truth
There was mold in the bathroom and almost no water pressure for the shower. The beds were comfy but had small blood stains and a couple of cigarette burns. The parking was free and the front desk personnel was kind and attentive. It is a great location for travelers on a budget. It was also very quiet.

Very nice stay
We were allowed to check in early without paying extra, since we came from far away. The rooms were very nice, and had a fridge and microwave. The courtyard was perfect to sit and enjoy coffee and read. There were quite a few nice places within walking distance to go.

Disliked: Staff & service
The cleaning detail for our room was lacking. We only had a quarter roll of toilet paper and only 2 small towels and no shower towels. The website advertises microwave but our room had no microwave. My son who also stayed in his own room was assigned a room with a guest already assigned. He walked in on a lady half dressed. Otherwise not a bad stay

Not pleased
I wasn’t very happy with my stay. To start, I requested a handicap accessible room. I put on the 3rd floor and the location had a broken elevator. So I had to carry my handicap 4 year old up 3 flights of stairs. The room looked fine at first glance. But we were surprised to see the floors were filthy. My 4 year old can’t walk, she scoots on her knees. When I went to pick her up I saw that her hands and shins were BLACK with filth. I hurried to give her a bath only to find out the bathroom light was on seizure mode, strobing like crazy, with the worlds loudest fan. It sounded like someone dropped a whole bag of marbles into a blender. Not very happy and won’t be returning. Happy I only needed to stay there for one night
