The hotel is definitely a budget hotel. Has a pool and gym but neither are enticing. Gym equipment needs maintenance and pool is in the parking lot. While the rooms are standard hotel rooms with kitchenette and large desk area, the cleanliness is really what is lacking here. There is no daily housekeeping. They inly clean 1 time per week or when you check out. The rooms need a deep cleaning. Everything is "wiped" down but there are streaks and stuck on dirt. You can exchange the towels but you have to find someone working on the floor because the instructions they give (put your towel sign on the door by 9am) doesnt get the job done. This is my second stay, different rooms, same concerns. This stay was actually more expensive than last month.

First issue on arrival was receptionist was too preoccupied with personal family issues on her cell phone. Went to my room and it smelled awful in the passage and my room. Bed was very comfortable & inside clean but SMELLY. Left 1 day early as it was not a happy experience.
