Room was clean and staff was friendly. They woke me up at midnight, pounding on my door because there was a leak in the room below me and wanted to see if my bathroom was flooded. It wasn't. Walls are super thin and you can hear every tiny noise in the adjacent rooms. I was woken up by 2 guys talking outside my room at 5:45am.

I would say this hotel is average, it wasn't the worse but it wasn't the best. You can tell the restroom was just quickly touched up and still dirty as in stains/dust on the toilet. The TV looked as though it had sun damage and could not be seen or heard clearly. One of the bed sheets had a giant stain on it. I can say I appreciate that the place did not have any vermin but it was very outdated and looked better in the photos.

This property was located in what seemed to be a residential area of the city. It was very quiet in the area. Across the street is a service station with a 24 hour convenience mart and there's also a free shuttle which will take you down the hill to the downtown area. If you want to dine at a place closer to the property, you can walk about ten minutes to a couple of pizza places, a hot dog place and a retail area with Thai and Hawaiian cuisine. Overall, the property is quaint but the furnishings are a little dated. It also has a pool and hot tub. However, the pool was a bit chilly and needed a bit of sweeping to remove the debris which was blown into it by the afternoon wind. Parking is plentiful; and though still needing city approval, there are EV chargers on the premises.
