I really enjoyed my stay here. It was being remodeled but I couldn't tell. Never heard anything. The a/c was sorta load, but it's not too new. Nothing big. It was very nice having laundry facilities available. They do have nice grills to use, I didn't get chance to use them. I like the computer desk that is there. I... More

The Hotel is under renovation. There was noise. The water pipes busted in the hall and the evening before we left there was a flood in the bathroom of the unit above us on the 3rd floor and it came through the ceiling in our bathroom and flooded the floor. It was the first hotel I ever stayed at that... More

Dear sal3521, Thank you for your review, Let me first apologize that you were affected when the water line burst. That was unfortunate and unforeseen. We are an extended stay property. Meaning most of our guest are there for long periods of time, therefore we only offer weekly housekeeping. If you should require daily housekeeping you are able to request... More

I love this hotel, absolutely, but just a tip, if you are planning on sleeping in and don't want to be disturbed, be sure to put the sign on the outside of the door. That way staff will know not to knock while you're nursing a hangover :P More

I stayed here recently for a business trip. High speed internet was FREE - how refreshing! The location for ME was great, although I must say there are not a lot of restaurants, shopping, etc. within walking distance (I was car-less). The room was VERY clean and the kitchenette was a bonus. There is free coffee 24/7 in the pantry,... More

Beware: Stay here only if you don't mind paying for your own room while subsidizing what seem to be homeless Section 8 voucher recipients and what the front desk politely refers to as "long-term guests." We stayed in this motel because it allowed pets. We arrived and were immediately greeted by two dogs off leash, rushing towards our caged pet... More

We were very unhappy with our stay here. When we arrived, the room temperature was 78 degrees. We found out why when we turned on the a/c and discovered that it was unbelievably loud. Every time it cycled on during the night, we woke up. There were also loud bangs periodically outside our room - we don't know what they... More

We were just here for one night but since we were bringing our baby and dog, we were expecting an actual suite - one with a separate sleeping area and living space. Unfortunately, we got a studio suite which meant we had to go to bed when the baby went to bed - at 7pm! Oh well. The room was... More
