Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room came equipped a kitchenette but all the dishes, minus the cookware, were dirty upon arrival and left in the dishwasher. The overall cleanliness was questionable with several dead bugs throughout the room. Night porter was subpar and complained excessively about his job. The hotel accommodations were fair considering the price point but I would not spend more than the rate $75 a night to stay here. I will not be happy if my "Incidentals Deposit" is not returned as the room and property were in relatively poor conditions.

The worst thing was the smell of weed in the room. We took Febreeze which helped a little. The bed was comfortable.

I've stayed at this hotel twice and I encountered issues both times. There was a live cricket in our restroom light, which isn't so bad when you consider that it can't get out, but it was still a little gross and annoying having to hear it jump around and chirp from within. I brushed it off as just a one-time thing, but there was ANOTHER cricket in our restroom light this past visit. And we were in a completely different room on a different floor! Also, our bathtub wasn't draining the water correctly, so after about showering for 10 minutes or so, the tub would be completely full and we had to manually lift the drain up until the water very slowly, eventually washed away. It was really inconvenient. There was also no hand soap both times I visited, so we had to use the dish soap from the kitchenette area. All of this aside, I cannot commend the staff enough. Everyone I had the pleasure of speaking to was very polite and professional. They really make you feel welcomed. The staff's amazing customer service was definitely the highlight of our visit. I just wish the property was a bit cleaner and that maintenance would take a look at the bathrooms, because it seems like several rooms have drainage problems according to other reviews. All in all, our two visits weren't terrible, but I'm unsure of whether we'd return.

Believe the good reviews!
All star experience especially for our budget. Sure , pay $5 nightly for parking, better than a $40 parking garage! Yes, prepare to pay a $25 deposit when you check in. Noooo big deal. If you dont read reviews or call the property directly with questions, that's on you. Why would they serve breakfast if you have your own kitchen? Think, people, b4 you gripe! This place is outstanding! If you can afford a palace with servants, go for it!

Just okay.
The room was very dirty and old and smelled so bad, there was a sock stuffed in the AC unit, hair in the shower, smelled terrible, old room and falling apart, also refrigerator did not work. Water drain issue in tub. Pretty terrible but works as a crash pad , cheap and short stay. I have to say though customer service was on point employees are outstanding, you can tell they are working on these sort of issues.

Extremely disappointed. Avoid! First off the staff was very friendly during check in, we checked in early and by doing so we had to pay an additional $25 which at the end of the day isn’t a big issue but I travel quite a bit and have never been charged for an early check in as a courtesy if they have a room ready. However, upon entering the room we found a handful of dead bugs lying around, it clearly was not cleaned very well prior, and the more we looked under furniture etc. the worse it got! the room also had a smoky/musty smell in it. In addition to the dead bugs, we had several (at least 10-15) live bugs in the room over the course of 3 days that we had to kill ourselves, including a rather large one in the bath tub. This was gross!! Me and my son were very reluctant to sleep in the bed considering the state of the room. On top of this, the air condition in the room sounded like Optimus Prime every time the fan turned on, so we continually got woken up throughout the night and ended up turning off the AC and having to sweat it out which was very unpleasant. All in all, this was quite a horrible experience, there’s the saying “you get what you pay for”, but in some cases you definitely don’t. We would not recommend staying at this hotel.
