I had my two children, we left for food and came back to a noise complaint. The clerk threatened to call the cops if we didn’t keep the kids tamed was her words. The ceiling was falling in. The paint was chipping off all the walls. I didn’t even want my kids walking around, let alone not tamed. Mold was in the bathroom. I would not ever stay again.

The price was right, however for a non-smoking room, it did smell somewhat of smoke. The room was basic with no fridge and could use a new coat of paint. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
