Disliked: Amenities
We checked in late (after 4am) room was clean but very small and damp. Prior to arrival I called and asked for a late checkout (12am) so we could sleep because we were at the hospital all night which he agreed to and confirmed upon check in. However, at 10:40am they were already calling our room, then by 10:49 the front desk was banging (not knocking) at the door and before I could even get up to answer it he was already trying to enter my room and It wasnt even 11am! Apparently there was no record of my request for the late checkout (no fault of mine) but regarless, none of this should've happened beore their set checkout of 11am! Sadly when I went to address it at the front he didnt even give me the curtosy to speak without cutting me off, so there was absolutely no hospitality at all! I will never go back nor ever recommended this place to anyone.

Disliked: Cleanliness
A little disappointed in this hotel. A low end two storey building but with no elevator to reach our second floor room. Would be a deal-breaker for some guests. Cleanliness wasn't what we expected... front mat at entrance hadn't been vacuumed and floors felt sticky underfoot, although this may have been due to the cleaning product used. Small fridge but no coffeemaker or microwave. Continental breakfast was OK. Not worth the price we paid but probably acceptable if it was a $99 room rate. We wouldn't stay there again.
