The young man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. This might be a fine place for a night or two, but not an extended ...

This was the first time I have ever felt deceived by pictures of an establishment. We walked into our room which was the size of a walk-in closet. Lighting was odd with a blinding white light in the bathroom. Cleanliness was...interesting. My pillowcase had blood stains all over it and the bottom ...

Not as nice as I expected. The smell as the hotel was not great. The room was less than ideal. For a room that should accommodate 4 people, there was no where to hang bath towels.
