No coffee machine in the lobby or rooms. No breakfast available. The restaurant and bar are not operating. The pool is closed. The ice machine is only available on the 3rd floor. No restaurants within walking distance - except a Dunkin' Donuts. Not sure I'd feel safe walking there anyway! The room was clean, it had a fridge and TV - but I had to get the 'manager' to activate the Internet to get it to work. I'd choose a different motel next time - I was less than comfortable staying there.

The hotel is being renovated when we were there, so hopefully the owners continue with this to bring it back to its former appeal. The beds were quite comfortable and the TV was excellent and huge, with Roku service.

I was working nearby and i knew i would get back to the hotel room after midnight. I checked in on my way through so i could just go to my room when i had finished work My fault that i did not check the room first. I got back at 2am. Toilet loose on the floor. No coffee machine cupe, water plastic cups No nothing. Thats the good bits. The hotel was occupied by either drunk long term occupiers plus the drug users making lots of noice even at 2am We found a roach on the window wall We went to sleep and shortly after i felt a roach on my hand, and one on my head. This hotel is badly maintained and needs a major upgrade just to be a basic place to stay. There is no breakfast theres no one at front desk, Im not one who generally complains, but this place is a dump. Do not be lured by pictures. They are not true

The service was terrible, staff support was lacking, the 3rd floor was a storage place, and it was given to me for a room to stay. I came in at 2:00 AM, and despite the fact it was late at night, I had to return the room and got out to find a more suitable hotel to stay. I asked for the full refund the next day -- talked to Rago the manager -- and was told that the refund would be done immediately. Thank you, Josepj Nguyen
