- DDDaveOct 27, 20254.0Nice place. Clean. Quiet.
- IAIbrahim AltaieOct 14, 20255.0nice and clean. we enjoyed our stay here. con: the kitchen smells very very strong during breakfast time. i would recommend more ventilation.
- KLKelly LeeOct 13, 20255.0Great location! The room was spacious and affordable, with plenty of free parking available. The breakfast staff were super kind, but the food options were very limited and repetitive during my stay. The room had a nice view, and overall, the location was great. I gave 4 stars for service because the front desk was often unattended when I passed by the lobby, and housekeeping seemed a bit inconsistent — they left cleaning towels in my room but didn’t make the bed or refill the coffee capsules, basically just took care of the trash and towels.
- AYAmanda Y.Oct 11, 20252.0Overall, the location is the only reason to stay here. At check in, the front desk wasn’t very friendly, but I didn’t stay here to make besties with the front desk so I didn’t care until I got my room. The tv was broken with lines running down it and the remote was duct taped together. Okay, fine, not here to watch tv either. But then we sat on the toilet and almost fell off from the bowl being loose from the ground. We reported it and were told they were sold out and nothing could be done in terms of moving us. Since we paid the same price as others, why do we have broken items? Not a great experience but luckily we’re only here 1 night.
