Stayed at this property as it was well located and well priced. Arrived early and although a king wasn't available right then they gave me the option of waiting until the room was ready or taking 2 doubles which I took. The room was clean, clean, clean and the beds and pillows were comfy. A small fridge and microwave were... More

My sister had a one night at this hotel and it was just fine. The room was very clean, the staff was helpful and friendly and it was quiet. A Starbucks and a Panera were a 2 minute walk next door and it was very convenient to all the businesses we needed to access. The beds and the pillows were... More

The hotel has nice and clean rooms, the breakfast is continental and ok, and there is a big parking. Wi-fi is ok. The only problem is that they did not give us our pre-booked rooms until 5 p.m. as they were not clean, but we went downtown to wait until the rooms were ready. The staff was very, very slow... More

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in two separate stays in one week. The first stay was two nights, and the room was AWFUL. Old, unrenovated, old style TV (not a flat screen HDTV), and no refrigerator or microwave. The walls were VERY thin and the towels were like sandpaper. The air conditioning unit didn't work very well... More

We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with your room during your recent stay. We would have been happy to provide you with a refrigerator and microwave had you requested one. Also we would have replaced your air conditioner if we known it were loud. We understand not everyone is comfortable with an exterior property therefore we provide a security... More

The recent reviews are accurate. I stayed here a few years ago and the differences between then and now are great, well as in greatly deteriorated. Its the most overpriced outdated hotel Ive ever seen at $75....Please be careful when you stay in an outdated hotel. Some of the rooms can hold serious mold and mildew. Some serious health conditions... More

This hotel was fine a few years ago but has deteriorated so much. The hotel doesn't have a 'safe feel'. I was nervous of the other clientele. A lot of unsavoury characters that seem to be permanent residents of the hotel. If you have children definitely do not consider this place a choice. The language of the construction workers and...

This place gives you an uneasy feeling, rooms very outdated. There are perminent residents living there.The location is OK as it it easy to walk for a burger, sandwich or grocery store. Spend a few extra dollars and upgrade to another motel. More

We stayed 3 nights, in December. I turned on the bathroom light 2x on the second night, and discovered cockroaches both times on the floor. I asked for another room the final day but was rebuffed - the person on duty asked if I left the door open or somehow let them in. Not only gross, but insulting. The person... More
