Property location was convenient. But on a very busy street with a lot of loud traffic. Also right next to a popular restaurant with loud patio seating. Area was clean and felt safe. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately it really needs updates and a deep clean. The TV remote only turned it on and off and the volume up and down. Wouldn't do anything else no matter what I tried. The best thing is that it's pet friendly.

Ok place for the price
The room is spacious and feel clean. One night stand light did not work. The dresser which TV is sitting on is scuffed up. It looks like new wall paints but some walls are scuffed up.

Price was good but the hotel did need some work. My first room the lights didn’t turn on so they moved us to a different room. This room had a hole in the bathroom door but overall it was affordable. I appreciate how it’s pet friendly, just wish people would pick up after their pets.

Check-in was easy, dining close by, it was quiet after 10pm. The only drawback is the chlorine odor in the room was intense.

Good customer service but rooms need help.
Great check-in experience. Young lady was very pleasant. Room was clean but super outdated and some things needed repaired. Bathroom door is super small and not handicapped accessible. Makeup mirror ready to fall off the wall. Bathroom door doesn't close, shower curtain sticks to you when showering(need rounded rod).
