The room smelled like urine and we ended up sleeping in our car in the parking lot because it was so bad and just using the bathroom inside. Don’t waste your money here.

Staff were very nice and facility clean but if you are planning to stay, you won't get too much sleep. Walls are very, very thin. I could hear people talking next door like they were in my room. If you have a busy stay like we did, be prepared for the talking and noise.

I thought I had a very good stay. I was gracious and courteous as were the staff. I was impressed as I had stayed there years before under another name and it was not a suitable place to stay then. On my way home an agressive femail phoned me telling me that i had ripped the curtain in the room and I had to pay for it. I told her I ahd never touched the crutains in the room but she wouldnt believe me and pretty welll called me a liar. The curtains were closed when I arrived and I left them that was as cars were coming and goign, parking up against the window. Then she accused me of calling her staff liars, which I didnt , I merely said that I hadn't touched the curtains. I was there from Tuesday to Staurday and only once did a cleaner come in and that was Friday. I noticed the end of the curtain off the hookthat night but never thought anything of it. I was leaving the next day and it didnt affect anything. She then informed me that she was charging me because it was my fault, that if somehting was broken inthe room when I checked in, it was my responsibility to tell them so that I wasnt charged. Now, Iw as angry. It is not the paying guess' responsibility to check the room, it is the establishment that is supposed to have the room in good order. It s their responsibility to check the room, not mine.

Not a great stay

Very average,room was clean but bed was extremely lumpy and fitted sheet didn’t fit well enough to stay on the bed. TV remote didn’t control the TV, went to front desk to see if anything could be done but never did get it sorted so TV was a bust, lamp didn’t work either. Maybe they should check whether things work on the room. Breakfast was limited but bagel was fresh. Don’t think I’d stay there again. Guy in the morning didn’t ask how the stay was , not interested

The cost for what you get is not worth it. The continental breakfast barely contained any quality foods - no proteins beyond boiled eggs or nutritious foods. The hotel has no leisure amenities but does have laundry. I would consider your options. It's serviceable
