The 1st room I was assigned to was not cleaned or ready for me, once realized the staff immediately corrected the problem. I loved my time there so much I extended my stay. It's not far from everything you will need. Housekeeping was wonderful as well. Will be returning when I can.

The room wasn't the best but it served it's purpose. The staff and service was excellent, the maintenance guy was very helpful and the front desk guy always had fresh coffee ready for us, everyone was very polite and courteous, and I loved that there were so many dogs, it made me miss my fur babies at home lol

This is the most bare-minimum hotel I have ever stayed in. Two beds, a table, a minifridge, a microwave, and a bathroom--it didn't even come with shampoos or tissues. With that said, it was very cheap and well-located. Surrounding area isn't well-lit at night
