The service was okay for what it is, but the cable didn't work, the bed was hard, and I wasn't provided a wifi code. Not a big deal, but it's definitely a "stay here if money is tight" kind of place.

A smoking room was incorrectly booked and when I asked about non-smoking I was told it would cost more than paid on reservation. Room was on highway and nosiy and very nosiy occupans of room on 2nd floor. Temperature control not working - not responding to changes.

Manager & housekeeping was pleasant. My only complaint is that there was no room on 1st floor available. No elevator. Bed was very comfortable but pillows were flat. Microwave and mini refrigerator worked well.

Home away from home.

My stay was satisfactory, I only needed a place to lay down and wash and for the price I couldn’t beat it, check in is always fast and convenient.
