We've stayed at this property before. Room was fine, clean, and serviceable. A/C didn't appear to work, but it was a cool night. Bathroom door handle was on backwards, locked from the outside. Had a balcony (overlooking the parking garage and other buildings, but was clean/fresh air). Bedside lamp and clock/radio didn't work, but I didn't bother looking to see if they were plugged in. Everything is a bit tired, but they are freshening it up with clean paint regularly. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beds were not super comfy, kind of short for a 6' tall person, but the price was right.

The room was very dirty and felt like it had not been cleaned. The floor was sticky and dirty. There was old half eaten food still in the fridge, the plate and cups that were in the cabinets were dirty and stained. The door handles were falling off and the main sliding door barely locked and was also falling off. Would not stay here again.

Don’t waste your money

Mold in the bathroom, no toilet paper, office claims they’re open until 11 but at 9:00 there was nobody there, beds are incredibly uncomfortable, there was sand covering the floors before we even checked in, only two of the electrical outlets worked, it was incredibly loud- you could hear every step the people above you took, definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here

It wasn’t the best. The first room they gave me was horrible smell like cigars so I had to ask for another room and that one was OK, but the bed was as hard as a brick while the other bed was comfortable.

Nous avons pris l'option avec la cuisinette. Par contre, nous nous serions attendus à avoir le matériel nécessaire pour nous en servir facilement. Par exemple: des ustensiles en quantité suffisante, des linges à vaisselles, des filtres à café, un ouvre-boîte fonctionnel et du savon... Bref, la base pour payer pour cet option à mon avis. Aussi, le plancher était sale. Il n'y avait pas de trace de sable ou de poussières mais n'avait clairement pas été lavé depuis un bail.
