I only stayed for one night, but was pleasantly surprised at the spacious room, (I stayed in the king room) and for an affordable option, o sleep well and has everything you would need, including a full size fridge. It had a nice tv also. The reviews didn’t steer me wrong.

The front desk staff was very nice, they let me know after 11pm there was no staff on duty and that the keys would unlock the front door after 11pm. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. It had a FULL size fridge, microwave, and modern Quartz sink counters. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, safe place to stay. The price was very reasonable under $90 WITH taxes included. Affordable and Clean will have our family coming back next time.

2/10 Terrible

Colin

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
From 1 am until 3:45 am it sounded like the people upstairs were running a marathon in Work boots. I called the front desk at least three times, and they did nothing. On the third time they offered to let me check out and get my money back. It was 3:46 AM in the morning. Where was I going at 3:46 AM in the morning? Their solution was to ask me to leave, not the people upstairs that we’re making all the noise. So I started screaming at the top of my lungs for them to shut the —— up, and finally got quite enough for me to fall asleep. They woke me up at 7:30 with their loud marathon. We will never come back to this place again. Their service is terrible.

Semi decent no frills hotel
It was an ok stay but they were very stingy with the towels. The towels were perfect for a baby but not for adults. Other than that it was ok for the price
