The room was simple. We paid 74dlls which not complaining, but the hotel has potential. Needs maintenance work in the rooms, paint job. The cleanliness was good. Beds are very hard. Overall it has potential but they need to work on the rooms and outside the property.

We stayed in Room 201 found out the toilet flush didn't work at all, so they changed us to Room 206, which is much better. Unfortunately hotel staff knocked our door at in the midnight and opened the room! we were so freak out. Hotel need do a better internal communication and avoid that happening again. no compensation on these issues. The location is convenient, parking is ok.

The property is right next to McDonald's and 711. The 7 runs right in front of the property so if you need to get around town, there's the bus. The staff is always so kind to me and housekeeping is on point with their tasks. I love it here

Worse day to Stay.

Faucet was broken and bathtub was leaking from the side. I request another room and they give me next-door when I get into the room. It was clean but this the air tractor and the light of the restroom it wasn’t working so I have to call them again to fix it at the moment, they did it and it’s OK. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night the resident from the side, they were too loud. I called him again to the office. Obviously they were gonna say it was me not them. So I decided to leave early and leave the key at the office.

Staff was rude and unhelpful. The room is horrible, dirty, leaking everywhere in the restroom, bad odor. The only reason I stayed the night was because there was no other hotels around the area so if you want a decent place this is NOT the one.
