This is a good value-based hotel that checked all the no-frills boxes. Overall the hotel has been newly renovated on many key parts (carpet, bedding, paint, fixtures, etc). It obviously needs some other upgrades, but it is clear lots of progress has been made. It seems someone or some people are really taking pride in their work and it shows. Worth a look for the comfort value hunter.

Rooms were clean. However staff could rarely be found. Trash overflowed in the lobby and breakfast area. Breakfast was sparse. It was either cereal with only soy milk and yogurt. We stayed two night and was not asked if trash needs to be taken out or given clean towels.

Disliked: Amenities
The bed was comfortable and the tv was great. There was no bar soap in the room- only body wash in the shower. No drinking glasses - only styrofoam cups for coffee. And NO COFFEE maker in the room. Breakfast was inadequate - really not a satisfactory property but it wouldn’t make thought or effort to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

The hotel is under construction. We had to be move rooms three times for a two night stay. The water cut out twice and the elevator stopped working on three different occasions; I am in a wheelchair and the elevator issues were by far the most significant issue. The staff were great and worked well with what they had. This is a facilities-only issue.

No one was present at front desk on arrival; had to ring for assistance. Evening clerk was apparently responsible for doing laundry as well, suggesting that this is a shoestring operation without sufficient staff. Bathroom door got stuck on floor tile and couldn't be closed all the way or reopened without making noise—an inconvenience in the middle of the night. Breakfast was poor quality even by budget hotel standards: stale off-brand cereals, small pastry items individually wrapped in plastic, egg discs in a steamer and truly terrible coffee from a machine that dispensed only in metric quantities (great for international travelers, I guess, but required calculations to get the right amount of hot water for instant oatmeal). Noticed some small dried bloodstains on one bedsheet and one towel. The pool was nice, at least; there were decent bananas one morning (though not the other), and the front desk staff were courteous and doing their best. But this is definitely not the experience I expect when I'm paying $175 a night.
