Service was great, the check in was quick and the staff are super helpful, rooms are what you pay for, could be a little more paid attention to, but no problem with bugs drugs or bandits. You most likely won’t have an issue here
Clean room, had a decent stay. The hallway sort of smells like must and mold and mothballs, the hot water is low flow, but overall my weekend stay was good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Walls are thin so heard a lot of bickering between a couple of people and pets are allowed so heard quite a bit of happy dogs. I'd stay here again.
It was adequate for a 2 star hotel. Nothing flashy but it is good enough if you like the basic necessities
SUCH A GREAT STAY ! VERY UNDERSTANDING STAFF AND REALLY COOL WORKERS ! genuine care and good energy all around . I had the time of my life .here . I wish I could’ve stayed longer but there is a 21 day stay limit
Nice and peaceful environment. The rooms are very clean. Staff is very helpful and supportive especially the lady at reception by the name of vish. Such a lovely lady always smiling.
I had a wonderful time at the hotel the front desk employee name Vish was so kind and understanding to me and my family situation
No bed bugs or any type of bugs or rats in my room. The room itself was jacked up but the bed was super comfortable. It was a smell to the room was like someone just left the room . The floor in the room was oddly moist , the mirror in the bathroom had spots on it , i call it polkadot mirror ( burn marks ). The price for the room was like 80 something great price but not for that hotel. That hotel was worth in my opinion 40 bucks. But if your looking for a one night stay and u don't have 200 to spend on a nice hotel , this hotel is decent for u to just lay your head at night
Rooms not very clean lousy bathroom bugs crawling on the floors ask for a refund he said no never come here again
