The room did not have trash can in the bathroom. No towels. There was no hand soap, no warm blankets just the sheet on the bed. There was a cigarette butt next to door. I arrived at midnight so I could not call service to provide my with clean towels I left early morning on Friday. I couldn’t take a shower or wash my hands ! Worst service ever !

OK, but some outside maint issues

Overall OK stay. Hot water took 5 min to get hot, but then was very hot. Ice machine broken, seemed like a long time, so get it fixed. Could be an issue with local homeless raiding the machine. Also pop machine also out of order, so get it fixed.

There was lubricant on the bed sheets. The bed was slippery and the thought of how lubricant managed to get on the bed sheets disgusted me.

5/ 5 stars.

The only real complaint I have is that the wifi is a bit shaky here and there, due to the construction and thickness of the walls, which is a great thing. Other than that, the room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I'd highly recommend this place, especially at the price point. Thanks you to the staff and management.

The property looked line a magnet for lowlifes and drug users, general area looked run down. The "non smoking" room smelled of cigarettes. Other guests were also smoking rigjt out side the rooms in the hallway which just it worse with cigarette smoke. Front desk was terrible had to stand there and wait because the button to call for the attendant wasnt even working over all bad experience

It was over all good, I just needed a place to sleep one night. The property is totally outdated, the few repairs it has are poorly done. During my stay the top lock got stuck and could not open the door. I called the front desk for assistance and 3 people came. One of them had to get in through the window to finally get the lock open. It was a difficult moment.

It reminded me of my deployment time in Iraq. Run down building,rat infested property. Im surprised they are passing inspection. I would much rather save that 💲💲and sleep at the park. Rooms were out dated and filthy..Sheets looked used up,bed looked re-made without changing to cleaner sheets/cover. I paid for a room i didnt feel comfortable staying the night in…Lesson learned,never will stay here ever again…
