Marc

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Dirty, noisy and just not worth the cheaper price.

Carpet in bathroom was soaking wet, shower was clogged, air filter on air unit was filthy. Bed was really hard and uncomfortable.Room downstairs was noisy til 2am. Breakfast was all high carb junk food, no eggs. They did have good fruit and coffee though but don't microwave their coffee cups because they will catch on fire. You'd think they would warn their guests. Room did have fridge and microwave which was nice. Overall, for the price I'd advise staying somewhere else.

Close to restaurants. Clean but dated. You can hear the people 1 room away like they're in your room, 2 away like they're 1 room away. Not a deal breaker, but if you're a lite sleeper keep that in mind. The room I had was clean and large. Great AC and shower. Parking was easy, safe, but pretty tight door to door. A good stay if you're in that area.
