Rooms are decently clean. The staff is very kind. Only downside is the comfortability of the beds and the breakfast was pretty limited most mornings. But overall it's convenient and average to stay at.

Room was very spacious and had a good supply of glasses, a full size fridge. Temperature control was poor; had to keep windows open. Beds do not have proper mattresses, and combined with the hard pillows, it was like sleeping on the ground! Huge surprise at checkout. This hotel charges you $50 if you use the glasses in the room and don’t wash them.

The room was very clean and spacious. It was extremely quiet. There was one small bathroom garbage. With a kitchenette it would have been nice to have a kitchen garbage. The bed was like sleeping on a mat. I was never able to have a warm shower let alone a hot one in the 4 days I stayed There was only two bath towels, two face cloths but no hand towels. With no phone to call anyone you would need to go to the front desk to ask for something. For the cost I would have expected a little more

Check in process was painfully slow and breakfast was very basic, and the property dated, but the room was large and the bed comfortable. For a one night stop over, it’s fine.
