Lovely time
Stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights traveling from out of town with some friends. Check-in was very smooth and easy (shout out to Angel). The rooms were clean and the beds were so comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what detergent they use but it makes their sheets and blankets smell so fresh and clean. I like how their pillows are labeled one for soft and one for firm. I also appreciated the toilet and shower being separate from the sink because it allowed us to do different things at the same time. Microwave in the room was awesome. Fridge - not as awesome. Didn’t get cold. Their ice machine dispenses the good ice so that balanced it out. They also have snack items and drinks for you to purchase next to the check in the desk. My friends all woke up early enough for the continental breakfast and they really liked the variety. The entrance from the street is interesting because there’s only one way in and out but overall a very centralized location that was close to everything we needed. Would recommend staying here.

It was a decent stay plus closed to a lot of establishments. The room has that old and wet rug smell to it but overall its doable for the price and location. Safe place also.

Great stay!
Very clean and organized hotel. My room was very quiet, neat and the staff were very hospitable. They do service breakfast which was fresh and good each morning of my stay. This hotel does have a $100 deposit which is refundable. There is a a very small gym on site and laundry facilities as well.
