The room was fairly clean! The kitchen and amenities were wonderful and the front desk staff were friendly. However, the shower curtain and face towel was slightly dirty and I did see a small cockroach in the room on the desk. Apart from that I didn’t have any concerns.

First time staying here, I tried to get a room around $100.00 per night so this was my choice. It was quiet but there was a very strong air freshener scent in the hallways and common areas to hide the smell of pot which you could detect. There is a certain element this place attracts more than likely due to the price point. In the future I will spend the extra $20.00-$30.00 dollars a night to stay at one of the larger chains.

I did not particularly care for their clean towel policy, they wanted us to bring our dirty towels to the front desk and exchange for clean towels. My room was down the hall on the second floor, so it was a wierd inconvenience.

The property was not terrible. Easy to get to. No issues with noise or anything. AC kept things cool. I did see a small roach in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable but i didn't appreciate the sun directly in my eyes early in the AM. The shade was not adequate at all. Despite the several signs in the building, it was very clear that there was vaping/smoking/Marijuana use going on. It was very pungent from the second you walked in. It wasnt as bad in the room, but i felt like i smelled like a dispensary everytime i left. The staff was very friendly as well, however because of the smell, i probably will not stay here again.
