No-smoking room smelt like cigarettes
The overal stay was okay. The service staff were very nice and the check in went smoothly. However the room was not cleaned throughly with burn marks in the bed sheets and hair still in the sink. The room we were in was also a non-smoking room but smelt as if a pack a day had been smoked in there for years. However the location and price were attractieve and the stay went withou any hickups

Comfortable and Friendly.
This hotel was very friendly. Had a minor maintenance issue with our room door, but they were quick to fix it for us with ease. Hotel keeps itself clean to the best of its abilities and room service is friendly. I stay here often and have only had this one issue. Although, the pillows are a little flat.... lol

Shops are nearby, but the place was awful. Remote video check-in with hard to understand instructions. Dirty rooms, no amenities, no breakfast. For $77 a disgrace. Shouldn't have been more than $30. Never again!

The room wasn’t very clean. Stray hairs everywhere! The listing says newly remodeled. That’s not accurate. Nothing in the room was “new” except maybe the flooring and it wasn’t installed properly. Gaps in the LVP. When checking in it’s a digital kiosk, where they charge you a $3 fee to check in, but if you don’t pay it, you can’t check in and you room is non refundable. And the area isn’t the greatest. Whole place smelled of weed and someone was outside yelling from 11:15pm to 12am. The pictures are deceiving for sure!

AVOID! I have never had such a poor experience. I opened my room door and saw several bugs crawling on the floor and the walls. The top cover on the bed was clean, but the linens underneath were dirty and the mattress was stained. The room was nominally non-smoking but clearly smelled of cigarettes. I immediately turned around, turned my key in, and left. For what it's worth the staff did give me a full refund with little discussion.

The door to my room wasnt completely secure it was lose around the lock and makes it look as if the door doesnt close completely, the toilet water pressure was very low and only flushed twice it took forever to refill so it didnt flush for a long time, the shower you have to play with it to get hot water because the knob was broken, the towels couldnt have been washed well because they had hair all in it and the lighting is very dim. It was advertised as being recently refurbished but i dont think i was given a room that fit that description however with how late it was it was convenient just not comfortable.

The room was absolutely disgusting, no remote! When I went to go check in, there was a stupid kiosk machine there. Honestly, the most stupid investment on the property! And a waste of money! Also, an Indian woman on the stupid kiosk machine thing, it was incredibly hard to understand what she was saying with her Indian accent!! And, the part that irritates me the most! She told me there was a $3 booking fee, BUT THE SITE I USED NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BOOKING FEES!!! I truly felt that was a scam! If you have a booking fee PUT IT ON THE DAMN SITE!! Forcing unsuspecting clients to pay a booking fee is borderline disrespectful, nasty, and straight up borderline stealing at this point! I am beyond pissed off! I am NEVER staying this disgusting hotel again!
