We had a great one-night stay, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious with a decent kitchen setup. The only issue we had was that there was some hair underneath the extra blanket on the bed which was gross, but overall it was a good stay!

Basic Hotel if on a budget.

Could use a good update. Carpets felt wet, room had a dirty smell, AC didn't work, young girl at the front desk was not accommodating. All other employees were vere pleasant. I requested adjoining rooms on several occasions throughout the booking process and check-in process and was never accommodated (young girls at the desk). I was disappointing as this was my chance to spend time with my family for the first time in weeks as I was traveling for work.
