Good for what I needed. Didn’t expect anything more so I wasn’t completely disappointed but the interior definitely needs updating. One side of the parking spot closest to the road wasn’t lit. First night cops at the corner and later on visited the property. I stayed for the price not for the elegance of it. It will suffice but definitely not if my wife was with me.

Nice stay
It was a very nice stay. We checked in ridiculously late, like 3am, so the front desk allowed for us to a late check out of almost an hour late so we could sleep in a bit. The second floor ice machine was out so i had to use the one on the 3rd floor. Other than that, it was a very pleasant visit.

Good night at good price!
Traveling from distance and only in town one night as we passed thru. Room was everything we needed. Close proximity to dining and shopping within few blocks… which was nice to not have to get back in the car! Clean room. Nice bed linens.

This place is infested with cockroaches. We did a family vacation and booked 4 rooms. Every single one had cockroaches. When brought to the attention to the people at the front desk they didn’t even care. They already knew they had a problem. I would never recommend anyone to stay here.

I’m not a big breakfast person so it didn’t affect me much but the only complaint I would have is it’s a coffee only station downstairs with no breakfast items. Other than that, it was a really nice quiet complex with a circular driveway so you could walk around for exercise without leaving the parking lot if he chose. The design of the building seemed to make it more quiet then your traditional rectangular building. Inside the room the only complaint that I would have is the TV is small for the room at 36 inches. Other than that, the room was very comfortable and even had a door separating the sink area from the toilet and shower, which could be very convenient depending on your roommate

I have no comment of the stay because the shower was very uncomfortable and disconnect the input for the tvs and the manager said he didn't know anything about it when we went to the front desk but, everything else was great service

Clean, good location and good experience.
Room and the bathroom was clean. Check-in was smooth. AC, refrigerator and the microwave in the room worked fine. Beds were comfortable too. No breakfast, no dental kit, but it was not a big deal. Great location in butler plaza.
