Very good

It's good for the price but if they had milk with the coffee and some decaf coffee that would be great appreciated.

You get what you pay for
The room was cheap and the manager at check-in was great...that's about it. Stains on the sheets, uncomfortable pillows and beds. If ever back in the area, I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The beds and inside the room was clean, room bit noisy.
The property mentioned continental breakfast free, I would don’t deceive by this. They just had few items from Costco on the counter.

Clean place to stay
The LED lighting is too stark. Not warm at all. Reminds me of Russia. It was clean.
