Our stay

Bed was fine. Food options were good. Our sink faucet had water trickling out of it.

8/10 Very good

Accomodations adequate for the price point.

Accomodations were fine. I would trade less channels on the TV for a little bit better breakfast options. Oh, and the parking spot lines were painted very narrow.
Scott, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good Location

Reasonable hotel at the budget end of the price range, plenty of places to eat nearby. would use again
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and air conditioning worked great! The bed was very comfortable.The water pressure was horrible. There wasn't much to choose from on the breakfast side. The hotel was in an area that had restaurants and shopping. It was a good stay for the most part.

Close accommodations

Average accommodations, basics clean room, the TV did not work the last night but I think due to weather. Basic breakfast, not anything extra special. Safe and clean. I would stay again. Close to everything. Main strip. Can walk if needed.

The on site staff went out of their way to help us get a different room as our needs changed on a very busy weekend! Thank you!

The building is old, but it's clean.
Akira, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overpriced for the experience.

I wasn't a fan of having a kiosk with a remote customer service person doing the check in. NOT a personal experience and it didn't give me a very good impression of the management of the facility. The rooms were updated and clean, which was a bit of a surprise as the area around the hotel looked a little sketchy and run down. I was concerned about the security in the area as I found two of the outside doors propped open at 8:30 at night, and my window on the ground floor was unlatched as well.
Kim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was here for a quick stay and the staff was very friendly and it was a clean room to stay in
Ben, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet clean room that was where I wanted to be and everything worked.
Nat, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The breakfast area was clean and inviting. Only to have curdled milk in container on counter. Lack of wafflemix, old out of date hard cereal, and no coffee in coffee holder. This was all an hour before breakfast time was over. Both days.
Shawn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Was given keys to an occupied room. Walked in on somebody sleeping. They gave us a new room but we were pretty sketched out after that. Breakfast was lacking. Would not recommend.

Quite area
Brian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We had trouble with the air conditioner. It was quite noisy when trying to automatically turn on.
Sharon, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Black Duck tape on bathroom door, molding on bottom of bathroom door moldy and rotted away. Entrance door to room did not shut all of the way unless you push hard or pulled hard. Kisok check in which was slow. Creepy old man guarding the hallway area and staring at people out side his window no one on site to talk to if you needed anything. My door handle to my room was jiggled 3 times through out my first night there. Felt like they were doing bed checks or something. Lack of towels in room. No disturb signs.
Corey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff very polite and friendly. Disliked the stains on the bedspreads. The sink in one room didnt work so great but we had two rooms so it worked out.
Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent customer service! The owner was very friendly and he was very welcoming and kind! The room was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, as well! The continental breakfast was also nice. Excellent stay for a great price! Would definitely stay here again! :-) ~Andrea and Mark

4/10 Fair

Walls are paper thin, pillows are tiny, you talk to a person on a screen for check in, and we skipped the morning shower - bugs started crawling out of the drain and there was hair stuck in the drain as well. 0 stars - stay somewhere else if you can. The cheaper rate wasn’t worth it.
