Friendly staff and hot, fresh breakfast. Breakfast is limited but is cooked upon order (scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, and pancakes) plus beverages and cereal. Property is showing its age that some cosmetic updates in the rooms can't hide. Water pressure was horrendous and the toilets are round, not elongated so keep that in mind if you have digestive needs/requirements. Parking could be a challenge as it's limited (but free). All rooms are faux suites with no real wall to divide the living from the bedroom spaces. Mini kitchen does not include hot plate or tools (cutlery, serving ware, plates etc.,). The kitchen did not even include soap, dishtowels, or paper towels. On our last day I saw a tiny fridge magnet shoved way to the back on the side that said we could request items from the front desk but too little, too late. The full size fridge was great. There was a faint dog smell in our room but we arrived at 2am so we weren't going to complain. This is a dog friendly place so that just might be the way it is. Everything seemed clean, otherwise. Just a little run down in corners (like the tub and plumbing).

Contratamos 3 noches de hospedaje, no cuentan con seguridad en las instalaciones, nos salimos un día antes de nuestra estancia pagada, fuimos víctimas de robo en el estacionamiento del Hotel, y a pesar de que teníamos seguro de viaje el hotel y el seguro no se hizo cargo, no nos brindaron atención ni apoyo, no hacían aseo en las habitaciones, no tenían agua, no nos permitieron ver cámaras para ver lo del robo, ni apoyo ni asesoría nada. Muy mala experiencia, no vayan.

The property is fine. The front desk tried to charge me more than than I’d already paid. And someone smoked in the elevator and there’s no smoking on the property and it smelled for a good hour afterwards. Plus, it’s a little annoying to have a kitchen that has absolutely no eating or drinking utensils.

It was ok. Definitely pictures makes one expect better. Breakfast was subpar and garbage from janitorial staff left or forgotten upstairs by railings. Front desk staff when checking in was on phone and not very communicative. To be fair, she may have been dealing with an issue with supervisor. Will try another hotel when down for business.
