To bad, this place has potential, unfortunately the heater didn't work, but was provided a plug in. GFI however was broken. Toilet wasn't attached to the floor, the waste & overflow on the tub was hanging off. Had two remotes for the tv, one for volume & other for channels. On a good not, great hot water & pressure. Parking is very tight.

Walls were filthy, tub had mold, bathroom floor was filthy. Toilet paper was stuck to wall next to toilet. Wall socket next to sink kept tripping. Hairdryer cracked and very dirty. Tv picture was blue. The worst violation was the fire alarm was missing with wires sticking out of the wall. Light switch next to door had two different colors of paint all over it. Will never stay here again.

The room was ok. An overwhelming scent of Fabulouso cleaner in the room. Unfortunately the floor behind the bathroom was really not clean at all. Beds were super comfortable, heater worked and it was dog friendly. Coffee shop was a few feet away, which was great.

I was here last week and left a glowing review. I feel like I wasn’t recognized even after I said I’d be a regular. I’ll give them one more chance to get that together. Otherwise good.

Very clean and nicely updated room. The hotel staff was friendly and the location is very walkable to restaurants and shops. I only had a few qualms. The bed was very squeaky. The room only had a semi-transparent shade- a blackout curtain/shade would have been more effective. Check-in required me to fill in a form by hand- although much of that info could have been transferred by Travelocity. Lastly, I checked in at night and it was very cold but I couldn't turn on the heater. In the morning, I discovered the A/C was unplugged.

Motel is very run down. Parking lot is full of stuff stacked everywhere. Old & out dated furniture, beds, bathroom & sink areas. A/C is so loud, it sounds like a diesel motor on high idle.

This was a bad stay overall. The room was in very poor condition — the cable box was hanging from the TV, there were stains on the towels, ants crawling everywhere, and crusted candy stuck to the comforter. The outside of the property was also in very bad shape. I definitely would not stay here again.
