It was a great experience
Abdulai, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

It had a bed and a shower. The only 2 two good things about the place even though they smelled. The whole property smelled gross, stunk of cigarettes, and drugs. The place was very unheigenic. Check in staff was rude and disrespectful. Felt like i needed a fresh shower just for being in the place. The people who were around the property felt very unsafe and like I had to keep an eye over my shoulder.
Mason, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel, friendly staff, updated and renovated hotel.
Theresa, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The price was affordable, which was a plus, but the overall experience wasn’t great. The property is old and clearly hasn’t been renovated in a long time. While the room was technically clean, everything felt worn out. The bedding and sheets weren’t dirty, but they looked and felt heavily used, not the fresh, crisp quality you’d expect at most hotels. The biggest concern was safety. There were people drinking in the parking lot, and a few seemed to be under the influence of something. It didn’t feel secure, and I didn’t see any staff or security presence to manage the situation. If you just need a cheap place to crash and aren’t too concerned about the environment, it might do, but I wouldn’t stay here again.
Luke, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Was a good place to stay sleep for the night as long as you don’t need the heater unit the fan was quite noisy. At least, in the room that we stayed in the other ones may be good.
