It was a nice 2-night stay at The Spot. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The AC, heater, and microwave all worked well. I especially liked that the bathroom featured both a rain shower and a handheld shower spray. Note for visitors: 1 King Bed Suites are located on the ground level, while 2 Queen Rooms are on the second floor.

Nice room. A little colder than I would have liked upon entry because the air was on, but that it just my personal opinion. It is October after all. Online self check in caused me some issues but was resolved quickly when I called the number

Good place. The photos made it look better than it ended up being. But generally no issues. The online check in process could be better. The room was nice. No views from the windows as the location is a bit odd and right on the highway. The reception hours are limited and staff availability is limited. Parking is available.

The guy at the front desk was very hardworking and friendly. However, the bathroom was not very clean, especially the toilet. The noise isolation across different floors were not done very well. Luckily there was no late night partier during our stay.

I arrived at 4 in the afternoon and checked in, the manager was very helpful when I explained i was waiting for a new operation and it was very difficult to do the stairs. He checked to make sure it was ok and they were able to give me a room on the bottom floor. The room was very clean and very comfortable. The patio was a little disappointing as the table and chairs weren't cleaned off or swepted and there wasn't much of a back yard to sit out at. Otherwise for the price, very nice place to stay
