Recommended

Staffs were nice. Updates like the kitchenette with induction stove, counter and sink plus a regular size fridge was a bunos. We liked the wood flooring too. Suggestions: check the condition of the AC, it blows hot air, doesn't work its purpose on summer time, costs higher bills to the owner and inconvenience to your customers. Also change the old blue towels to white. Coffee maker and freebies like coffee, cream or sugar will be nice. Be true with what your signage says, none smoking. It's a recommendable place to stay when in a budget.

1. It is strange that the hotel charge, not pre-authorized credit at the beginning. 2. The damage deposit pre-authorized charge was $200 and the staff shared that for some rooms, the deposit was $600, much higher than other hotels. 3. I am not sure if they should keep a copy of my ID?
