The room was very clean and in good repair. I didn't know there was a breakfast option till too late and the person i spoke to at the beginning of my reservation was a bit snippy seeming. The beds were comfortable and complimentary toiletries of good quality were provided. There's also an excellent chinese restaurant right across the parking lot.
Everything was good. Staff were friendly and such. I do apologize for the confusion of losing something as I left it at home during the time I was rushing to get to this place. Overall everyone was understanding and nice to me. I recommend this place for sure.

The room wasn't inviting at all. Shower didn't drain well. Finished showering in a pool of water.
Free breakfast was a joke.
It's cheap for a reason.
2 stars for friendly staff.
Rooms brand new and great. First floor great, but heard walking from upper floor. toilet sounded like it was flushing all night like every 20 minutes which woke me up. It wasn’t really flushing. People very nice. Outside a work in progress. I would come back.
It was a pretty convenient stay in terms of location to food spots and landmarks, especially the hibachi place next door which was pretty good. The beds were comfortable and the space was clean. The only issue we had was with one of our keycards not unlocking the room, leading us to be locked out. Luckily the other half of our group was in the room and could open the door to let us back in. Besides that, it was a great value for the quality we received.
They are really understanding people and they arent rude at all I would stay here any day over a few hotels.and very clean definitely would tell my friends about them.
This is a simple, no frills, kind of place. The room was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and the front desk staff were friendly. There was even a light, continental breakfast provided each morning. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Room was nice for the price. The heater didn't work so they moved me to a new room. Continental breakfast is very limited, but staff was great. They cleaned my room between nights which is not common anymore.
Had no complaints at all about the stay. I was a late check in and had called and told them I would be late. So had no problems checking in. I had asked for a room on the first floor as I don't handle stairs well at the moment and they accommodated me, which I thought was nice. Room was clean, staff friendly. Outside was a bit noisy but they can't control that. I would definitely recommend and will most likely being staying here again.
