Room was clean and pet friendly. The bed head board was squeaky and really uncomfortable. When I went out around 11pm there were drug addicts going to rooms in the building. I immediately did not feel safe. I would never stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Booked because of 2 bedrooms (mom + 60 yr old son). Back bedroom with 2 queens (bed very comfy) but lamp on a table at end of beds with sharp corners & turned off by switch (so no light in the night! & unable to read in bed); as very tight space expect usually used by children. What was o.k. but could be better: at least coffee for 5 beds (not 2), drapes in front above heater shorter so as to feel that it was working (safety pins saved the night!). Too bad garbage is picked up at 7 a.m.; would stay again, but ask for an inside room.

This is a basic hotel. Very clean, quiet, stark furnishing and priced accordingly. No coffee or machine, no floor bathroom mat, no hair dryer, no cups or glasses, no phone. Office is not open daily. I was unable to get a receipt for my expenses as office was closed and didn’t answer phone when I was checking out. Left a message hoping they will send me a copy.
