We were stranded due to a storm and we’re thankful for a decent place to sleep before we headed on. Nothing remarkable, but clean spaces and friendly staff.

Cassondra

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were really nice. The property is run down but the beds were comfy. The drains in the sink and shower were slow. The shower curtain and towels and linens were all in their last legs. They allow transport trucks to park overnight in the parking lot in front of the rooms and they were loudly idling all night long. You can clearly hear all the traffic and people going by. The outside lights were bright and came through the curtains. They offered breakfast just note it’s really sugary and carb loaded. Waffles, cereal/instant oatmeal packs, breads and donuts, and some yogurt. If you need a cheap place to sleep and you’re exhausted, it’ll do the trick.

Older building, tired but kept up pretty well. The carpets and drapes along with furniture in good conditions. Less square footage, but it does cost less than most in the area. Good water pressure but the design lends itself to hearing your neighbors wheather in thext room or standing on the balcony smoking/socializing.

Jacob

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Breakfast: It's the same everyday. Store bought mini pastries, basic cereal, breads with spreads, waffles, yogurts, tiny apples, a juice bar (the juices were questionable quality). Wifi: Very weak. Disconnects randomly. Not usable for Zoom calls as an example. Outlets: Outdated. Using the Microwave caused the TV to shut off and reboot. Outlets in the lamps were damaged and unusable. Fire hazard for sure. No outlets near our bed otherwise. Had to stretch a 10 foot charging cable to the bathroom for my phone. Lights: Not all lightbulbs are the same. Some are yellow. Some are painfully bright LEDs. Bed: Sheets and Blankets were too small for our king size bed. They know it too as when they make the bed, they use more blanket on one side to make the room more presentable when you first walk in, leaving the other side with only enough blanket to cover the top but not the side. Outside of that, the bed was so very comfortable. Medium soft. Had wonderful sleep! Pillows: They were okay. Stuffed with cheap fluff that did not hold a shape. The pillow slips were clean. But the pillows themselves were covered in various stains. Bathroom: Our toilet paper holder was missing, so we had to have our tp on the floor or on the bathtub wall. Very thin sheets. Pipes were very loud after flushing. The door was previously damaged and it barely held on. You could see the screws pulling out of the damaged frame. Everything else was functional. Nothing fancy. Soundproofing is non-existent.
