We talked to the front desk about our heating unit being a little noisy and they REPLACED THE ENTIRE THING in 20 mins. Wonderful service and very nice. The place was very clean with updates, especially for the price

I only stayed for one night, but was pleasantly surprised at the spacious room, (I stayed in the king room) and for an affordable option, o sleep well and has everything you would need, including a full size fridge. It had a nice tv also. The reviews didn’t steer me wrong.

Excellent Stay
Good experience. Actually better than I expected. Clean, comfortable, and neat. The fridge was a slim 5 foot one with a freezer and a decent size microwave. Those 2 things are a bonus and both in immaculate condition. The sheets were clean and the bed was made up nice. Bathroom was also clean. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was that the ‘bathroom sink’ is placed outside of the bathroom close to the microwave and counter which was weird to me.

The front desk staff was very nice, they let me know after 11pm there was no staff on duty and that the keys would unlock the front door after 11pm. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. It had a FULL size fridge, microwave, and modern Quartz sink counters. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, safe place to stay. The price was very reasonable under $90 WITH taxes included. Affordable and Clean will have our family coming back next time.

It was surprisingly new inside for the price. Very clean. Could hear people walking upstairs but that is to be expected with most hotels.

Clean, Good Price, Good amenities
Totally surprised about the cleanliness and amenities of this location, at first sight it doesn't look like much but I've enjoyed multiple stays here. The pricing is great as well
