I'm a female solo traveler and the place felt very safe. The parking is a little bit far from the door, but still plenty of space. The rooms were very neat, the shower was great and the breakfast looked good. I love that they left me a water bottle in the room because most places don't do that and it was very helpful for me when I checked in late at night. Overall a great experience. ##### Sanjana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert 15 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Room was clean but hallways dirty. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ming 2 Aug 2025 It is ok for this price. ##### Ming Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jacob 20 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unsafe area, the property is not well maintained inside and out, the room looked clean but was infested with bugs.
