When you enter the room, it is nicely clean and prepared, but they never come to clean, change the garbage, bring other towels, soap, or do anything else until I left. Imagine I stayed from Sunday to Wednesday, and nothing changed since I entered the room. I had to go out and find my own soap so I could remain okay. But the place is good, and the staff, parking, and nearby shops are all excellent.

Great location and affordable, but rundown

Definitely has cleanliness issues and is a bit rundown, but for an affordable place near lots of convenient location (stores, food, local university) it worked well for me.

The staff was very friendly. The location was very close to downtown, which was where we wanted to spend our time. Our reservation was for a Queen size bed but our bed was definitely a full size. My boyfriend is a big guy so it was difficult to get comfortable on the smaller bed.

The actual toilet was so close to the sink that it was impossible to sit comfortably; had to remove the toilet paper roll to lift the seat. There was no breakfast, no milk for cereal or coffee. Ringing the bell resulted in nothing - no one.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. I travel often, and I was shocked by the condition of this property. The parking lot was poorly lit and felt unsafe, with people lingering around vehicles late at night. The overall atmosphere was uncomfortable from the moment I arrived. The room appeared unclean and inadequately serviced, as if it had not been properly prepared between guests. The lack of cleanliness was unacceptable and made the stay extremely unpleasant. Between the poor maintenance, cleanliness concerns, and lack of professionalism, I cannot recommend staying here.
