Great stay for the price. It was clean and quiet. The room was small, but plenty of room for me. The only negative was the choice of tv channels.

Not a bad hotel for the price Had all the amenities that one would need for a short trip. The rooms were clean and luckily we didn’t face any smoke smell or bedbugs issues as suggested by other reviews. Keep in mind it is priced low so do expect to have different population of guests.

Amazing price even at last moment, close to many locations. Friendly staff. The bed was comfortable, the room floors were not the cleanest barefoot. At night, there is only one staff at the reception, so there won't be any room service at night but all the things you need can be sourced. Also has an inhouse restuarant which seemed nice, and reasonably priced.

Everything was good clean and neat the staff was good. But the only thing is that we stayed for a few days and they didn’t come take out the garbage and change one off the bed sheets and towels they didn’t clean the room at all. The area was quite and place you can eat and gas station near by n liquor store 7 minutes away.

The safety at this hotel was horrible. The morning after we checked in, police showed up to arrest someone, which made us feel extremely unsafe. Throughout the night we also heard loud voices, moaning, and constant noise coming from nearby rooms. The surrounding neighborhood felt very sketchy and uncomfortable, especially at night. We had originally booked a two-night stay, but ended up leaving early and booking another hotel because we genuinely did not feel safe staying there any longer. Would not recommend for anyone looking for a safe or peaceful stay.
