Walls were very thin and the hallways smelled like weed but other then that, a good choice for a cheap hotel. I appreciated everything provided in the room, a stove, full fridge, toaster, microwave and other appliances.

Room was fairly clean, but the floors could use a bit more attention, things stuck to the tile that could have been removed. Shower had a small leak. It is still a great hotel for the value and the staff was very friendly.

Kitchen had what we needed, i ended up boiling water in their pot for some tea. The room was nice, or atleast what i expect for the price. The people were a little sketchy but can't completely blame the hotel for that. I had booked one room for me and my husband and another for my nephews family with a dog, pets stay free was the big perk in this affordable hotel. Had to walk up stairs to the room though.

The price was reasonable and the room did have a nice stove, refrigerator, and microwave oven, but housekeeping never brought new towels and cleaned the room my two nights I was there so I'd say totally my rating would be poor.
