Place was cheap and the AC worked great. Staff were very helpful. Only issue I had is fire alarm systems going off both nights.
The room was nice the property was clean the owner was nice.They don't have a ice machine that's a down fall other then that it cool little spot to chill at restaurant are close by
The room in general was very run down. there were only a couple outlets, the bathroom light did not work and the cover was off with exposed wires. The tub was very nice but the door had to remain open to shower. The tv/remote did not work. we could get the tv to turn on but had no options for stations. the 1 outlet by the bed was closer to the window than the bed, and our things would not stay plugged in. There were cobwebs in the corners. Overall was not impressed. Would not recommend this place to people.
The area is very sketchy in general. The building DOES NOT look like the pictures and the rooms definitely do not
Room was nasty, floors were sticky and the bedding was dirty. The pillow was yellow!
There was not even a microwave in the room and the toilet paper roll was used and in the floor. DO NOT GO HERE
This hotel does not offer microwaves as it is advertised in hte pictures. The rooms weren't very clean,and they give you one towel one wash cloth and one hand towel. The bed lining was very old and thin. If I could give this place a negative zero I would
This was one of the most concerning hotel stays I’ve had. I arrived early and appreciated being accommodated, but the first room I was given was already occupied—I used my key and walked in on someone, which is a serious lapse in basic safety and front desk procedure.
After returning to the office, I was reassigned to what I was told was one of their “nicest” rooms. That was honestly alarming given the condition. The door was damaged, didn’t fully close, and the security latch was broken, which made the room feel unsafe. The TV and remote were also unreliable—we had to unplug the TV just to turn it off.
The room had a very strong bleach smell that lingered for hours, which made it clear it had been heavily cleaned, but it didn’t make up for the overall condition.
Beyond the room itself, the general environment of the property raised serious concerns. There was a noticeable amount of suspicious activity, and it did not feel like a safe or well-managed place to stay.
I would strongly caution others before booking here.
It was old and run down but clean.
Indian woman at desk was very attentive and paid attention to what was going on around the place.
The room could have used a lamp but Ok overall
