My stay here has been wonderful. While I was here, the hotel upgraded my room with a new bed and furniture, which made me feel like royalty. I also want to give special recognition to one of the housekeepers, an older Hispanic lady whose name I unfortunately can’t recall. She was incredibly kind, personable, and thorough—she made my stay feel comfortable and cared for. The combination of great service and the effort the hotel puts into making guests feel valued really stood out to me. Thanks!

The matress in our room was completely worn out; the room did not have a smoke detector; the walls of the building are thin and we could hear our neighbors conversations. I would not stay here again.

The property is out dated. The area is not very safe. Office closes at 9pm so you cannot request assistance. Room was dirty, floor was not clean, restroom was dirty and there was no soap. Not worth the price. Property states breakfast is provided but that is false advertisement, they had nasty coffee and a few granola bars. Do not stay here!!!
