Friendly, Clean Rooms, Great Price

Check in the man at the desk was friendly. There was a lot of construction going on as they renovate the hotel. Our room was away from the construction so we didn’t hear any of it. The room was clean and comfortable for the price. We stayed 2 nights and they brought us clean towels without having to ask. There was a fridge and microwave in the room which is handy. The halls are in rough shape but the hotel was just purchased and is being renovated so it’s really no ones fault. All in all I stay here again.

Truly the scariest and dirtiest place I’ve ever stayed. I knew it wasn’t going to be good though but not this bad. it was in a bad part of town. There were renovations going on. It was so hot inside. And the hallways were horrifying. Floors in the rooms were so bad.

This property is fine for a budget accommodation. Pets always stay free, which is nice. The breakfast was very sparse and the third floor hallway carpet was really rough.

They were doing some construction to the property. A lot of noise. The worse part was the air conditioner. We couldn't use as it was so loud. We were tired and didn't want to take the time to switch rooms. Did say something to the front desk clerk when we left. But will stay somewhere else when we're in the area. of
