Hotel was ok. Light fixtures very rusted out, ceiling in bathroom stained. Room stuffy and maybe mildew smell, had to keep ac on high to mask it. Came out of room and saw a lady walking her mid size Bully dog down the hallway and that was scary. Definitely needs some refreshing. Location was great for me as it was closer to family home, but not convenient for restaurants and stores unless you wanted to drive 5-10 mins.

Perfectly fine for solo one night

It's basically an extended stay place. No real lobby with relaxation places...but then again I was more looking at pricing and for that you can't beat it.

We loved everything about our stay, it was a perfect budget option near a concert venue we frequent. We will definitely be back, my only complaint is a tiny bit of mold in the bathroom but not enough to deter us from coming back.

It’s a quiet and pleasant place,the attention of the reception staff as well as the cleaning is good.The smell of cigarettes and marihuana in the corridors at the entrances and exits of the building is too much.But overall it was a good experience.

I really enjoyed myself, the bed was so comfortable, my room was okay, but the only problem I had was the odor in the hallway was to strong for me, but my overall stay was great...

This hotel is located on the edge of what appears to be an office park. It’s very quiet and appears to be a very safe neighborhood. One suggestion would be free breakfast particularly since there is only 1 walkable restaurant near the property. It’s seafood fare so I doubt they serve breakfast. A short drive to Hwy 49 and there are numerous dining options. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. The kitchen is a big plus. Beds were standard comfort.

Liked: Staff & service
recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff was welcoming, and the location was convenient. However, one concern I had was with the air conditioning unit in the room—it was quite old and made a lot of noise throughout the night, which made it difficult to sleep comfortably. I believe updating or servicing the AC would really improve the guest experience. Aside from that, the stay was enjoyable, and I appreciate the hospitality.

Glad that the place was dog friendly but wish they would have posted their pet fee of $75 in a place that was easy to find. I was not able to find that additional cost before booking.
