Overall, the facility was clean and well maintained. The only thing was, seemed like the tile floor in the room was not as clean as I thought it should be.

I'll stay again
Perfect for my needs. The limited staff interactions I had were good, the hotel felt safe and comfortable. The room was clean enough, not spotless but nothing glaring and gross was missed. I'll stay here again.

Warm and cozy
The room I was given was reeked with cigarette smell. I called the office and the receptionist said that he will be right to give me the key for next door. He was fast and apologized.

The location and price were good. The front desk was friendly and helpful when I needed to request a new coffee maker in my room. One very noisy evening on Saturday night/early morning. Not sure I will return. You get what you pay for!
