Positive: Location was excellent. The process of checking in and out is good too. Breakfast was also adequate. Negative: It didn¿t feel like a 2.5 star hotel, it was almost like a 2 star hostel. The carpet looks like it hasn¿t been cleaned since forever. No toothpaste as well and there wasn¿t adequate light fixtures so some parts of the room were dark.

I suggest you take pictures of the room before you check out and when you first check in. They will lie and say you smoked and trashed a room even tho you have small children with you. They literally rented rooms to teenagers the night before we checked out I’m sure they were one of the children that works there friends so they blamed us even tho we’ve literally been coming to this hotel since 2020 and never had an issue, but now they’re saying we are banned from the property when they said we smoked in the room my kids yelled out “they don’t smoke” because we go outside and they have no clue we smoke. The price is good, the neighborhood is cool, the beds are comfortable, but the staff will lie on you, and the property needs work. We really only stay for the price, the breakfast, and it’s close to school. Crazy thing is my husband works for an upscale hotel and we clean the room ourselves because my husband sees what the workers go through at his hotel! The guy that’s works the front desk is very sweet I will give him that, he needs a raise they make him do all the dirty work.
