Separate need of repairs. Plumbing is noisy. noise from next door. No carers. Pluming leak noise. AC units are ancient and extremely noisy. Staff were kind and nice, my rating is based on the fact that I needed to get some rest but after suffering until 5AM, I switch to another hotel

We came snd stayed for a sports tournament. The property was very clean and you could tell that they prioritize cleanliness. The furniture was a little worn but functional. It would have been great to have a light breakfast and a vending machine but there were food options nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful which i liked.

We needed a quick place to stay before getting an early flight. The place seemed clean but very dated. Shower water was hot and microwave worked.

It was great for a one night stay. It was close to the venue we were going to. It was not extravagant but it was clean and the beds were comfortable.

The hotel allows smoking. Strong smell of pot and cigarettes. Slamming doors and loud voices. It appeared that the staff didn’t care about the general chaos. I would not stay there again. Seriously, I think a motel 6 is a step up.
