Price was good but the hotel did need some work. My first room the lights didn’t turn on so they moved us to a different room. This room had a hole in the bathroom door but overall it was affordable. I appreciate how it’s pet friendly, just wish people would pick up after their pets.

Check-in was easy, dining close by, it was quiet after 10pm. The only drawback is the chlorine odor in the room was intense.

Good customer service but rooms need help.
Great check-in experience. Young lady was very pleasant. Room was clean but super outdated and some things needed repaired. Bathroom door is super small and not handicapped accessible. Makeup mirror ready to fall off the wall. Bathroom door doesn't close, shower curtain sticks to you when showering(need rounded rod).

The staff person at check in was not friendly and acted as if we were inconveniencing her. At checkout, they didn’t ask if we had a good stay or if we liked our room. The room was ok but dark. The me wall was painted dark brown which was ugly and made the room dark even with the lights on.

Super convenient and pricing is good the only problem is the upkeep of the property. Our room was pretty dirty, found hair on the bed, filthy food stained fridge, dirt stains in the bathroom, shower head had rust and calcium build up, etc. Its not the WORST but definitely needs better deep cleaning and property upkeep. This is my second time staying here and it was disappointing seeing how bad our room was when the reason i booked was because our first time was great!
