The best part of all was the front desk clerk who was super nice and friendly. Hotel however looked like it has been kind of remodeled like putting lipstick on the pig!! Not finished floors, exposed dry wall corners, showers that barely work and glass doors that were impossible to open and close. Besides - the smell was horrible!! I guess they were using some air freshener to mask the smell and it was bad. Smelled like Indian spices and some cheap perfume. Really bad. The parking lot smelled like poop … the pictures are very deceiving , it’s not that nice at all. Definitely not my level and I do not recommend this place! Find something else , otherwise you gonna smell like a curry looking and half ass job that construction workers didn’t finish

Good value for price. Slight strong smell when first entered room, but after running the AC it went away. I’m also very sensitive to smells so could just be me. Aside from that the bed was comfortable, breakfast options were great, check-in was smooth and in a good location. The hotel owner/attendant was very friendly!

This hotel is very nice for an evening stay. The rooms are pretty basic but overall clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was good and the coffee machine was amazing. Very attentive staff. The AC was not working in one of our rooms and they did come in and fix it with a little extra explaining. Definitely could use some updates but overall met our needs

The owner of this hotel is so nice and cares so much about making a good experience for his guests. This is a typical ride side two star hotel. Nice bc the rooms are inside with an elevator. It’s a little old but they are really trying to make it the best experience they can. It was safe. The breakfast had the usual waffle make and eggs and sausage etc. but it also had a yogurt machine with fruit and granola which was nice. They also have a latte coffee machine! For the 98.00 I paid it was a good safe option and pleasant experience at a two star hotel. Rooms are huge so good for families with kids.
