My husband stays here frequently because he appreciates that is is updated and very reasonably priced. To be fair, he had no issues with his stay and would stay again but did admit this was the worst of all the rooms he had ever gotten. I joined him for one night. A noise in the walls, which turned out to be the pipes, woke me up frequently throughout the night. I also felt the bed to be lumpy/springy and, overall, uncomfortable. Everything else was fine. It was clean and conveniently located.

We felt we were in a little dicey neighborhood but felt so safe and cared for as soon as we got to our room. We had trouble with our air conditioner which was immediately resolved. The room was very cleaned and they gave us housekeeping every day.

The air conditioning unit didn’t work had to call front office. The toilet seat was only attached with one bolt. The shower curtain did not keep the water in and got all over the floor.
