The inside of the room was clean, an older vibe, a beautiful, soft (not too soft) bed, and a large room. Does not have a couch or table like the pictures. For the price, it was great When we checked in, we had an issue with the key, but the front desk was amazing and helped get a new room, and he did all the walking back and forth.

The room was very clean, but the smell of old cigarettes permeated the whole room! There were visible yellow condensation marks on the bathroom ceiling. The furnishings in the room were old, but ok The noise levels were truly awful. I've stayed in other budget hotels on the Gasoline Alley, and this is by far the worst.

Stayed for 2 nights. The beds are comfortable, the heating/cooling worked well (but is noisy) and the larger fridge in the room was very nice, clean and new. Bathroom is basic but adequate and had nice hot water. The vinyl flooring is also relatively new so is in nice condition. Although the beds are comfy, they are on wheels so if you try to lean against the wall-mounted headboard, you quickly end up in the middle of the room. The rest of the room is quite dated and so has nicks and dings in most areas. The room was also not cleaned well as we found multiple long black hairs in various areas. Coffee pods were provided but were not restocked so had to go to front office to get more.
