Sad face IconDisliked: Property conditions & facilities
Second time booking here because of value. This place, REEKED of weed both times we came. First time we thought maybe it was just a once in a while thing, but as it seems it’s definitely not. The whole building smells as well as the exterior and parking lot. The room SEEMED clean, but you can tell that not everything is wiped down. The AC vent had what looked like dried strawberry Fanta on it. The toilet had soiled stains from the last guests. So these details aren’t important to the staff. Other than the smell and the obviousness of not caring about cleanliness, I guess it’s okay. Seems safe enough. But I will not be returning as these are dealbreakers in my book. I try to give places more than one chance because the first time can always be a probable “off” day. But then after the second visit I can just see that this is the norm.

Pleasant staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds. The only negatives were the small square pillows, and the thin walls. Aside from that, was happy with The place. To be fair, the neighbors may have just been loud.
