I very much enjoyed my night. Of course, the hotel was a bit outdated, but it was quiet, clean, very affordable and the bed was super comfortable. I'd definitely recommended and come again.

Nice staff, not-so-nice room.

The room had a really bad smell to it. That was very bothersome to me. I’m assuming it was a smoking room in the past and they tried to cover up the odor, but they didn’t do a good enough job. The shower faucet did not turn on very easily either.

Meh

The hotel is dated and rundown. It is desperate need of a remodel. Our room smelled moldy and the breakfast was limited and all-in-all non-existent.

No stay hotel

The room was humid and hard to sleep in even with the air on, the tv cables were loose and kept messing up even when tightened, there was an odd bag hanging on the wall with gross water in it..like a dehumidifer bag. The service manager was unfriendly and kept telling us not to touch anything. He wouldn't provide a checkout receipt. Continental breakfast was very limited.

Im not sure if Ive ever stayed at such a bad hotel. This was the chair in my room. The light at the sink outside the bathroom didn't work so I was in the dark doing my hair and makeup the next morning and I found hairs on the sheet and pillow that werent mine before I got into the bed. I went downstairs to talk to front desk and nobody was there, nor was anyone there when I came downstairs in the morning. I requested a refund from hotel.com an hour after I checked in. I and haven't back.

Decent Room Decent Price

The service was great the people were nice. The only issue was there were two queen beds in the room one of the queen beds was somewhat hobbled towards the head of the bed making it about 4 inches lower than the foot of the bed. Also they smell of mildew or mold from maybe water damage was noticeable in the room and in the hall. They did have a humidifier in the hall trying to absorb the moisture in order from here but other than the small inconvenience everything was fine.
