I actually really enjoyed my stay. Check-in was a breeze. I got into my room safely. The room was clean and very spacious which is a lot to ask out of a lot of these hotels. The bed was COZY ! another great perk of this hotel. I’ve stayed in rooms where the bed was rock solid. So the bed was a great bonus. Tv, microwave, and mini fridge all worked well. Separate space for the restroom separate from the “kitchenette”. Plenty of space and storage for luggage. Great stay ! I recommend. The only discrepancy I would have were the surrounding neighbors. They didn’t seem to be the “cleanest” people around. A little shady. However, I also saw families with children and as long as you keep to yourself I feel like it’s a great stay for a short-stay.

Room was very clean. Accessaries are basic, but we really didn’t need the extra stuffs. A clean room and particularly clean bedding are the most important things for us.

We stayed in room 206 and it was pretty decent and comfortable for 1 night. The a/c unit worked great all night, the room does have hardwood floors and it was clean. The lampshades were outdated and dirty. It does have a desk to work on and there’s a TV. No small fridge . Bathroom was cleaned. There’s only soap bars, no shampoo in the shower.
