Awesome for when I needed a motel on short notice and it was cheap so I appreciate that a lot. Dirty but a few towels were clean, unopened cups, and hand soap. TV, microwave, fridge, hot water, and cozy beds. Better than I expected!

Good place

It was a good place to stay. Girl at the office was friendly and check in was easy going. I would only wish that they had outlets next to the bedsidea of your bed. Other then that was a great very inexpensive place to sleep. With hot water coming out of the shower.

The location was ok the train would pass once in a while. The dinner was close no time when open or close. The shower had no light so had to leave a little bit of the curtain open so light can pass thru and lastly the only thing to eat there was the love travel center which had subway open 24/7 which helps for emergency needs....

I was initially allocated the room away from the reception. I found that the wifi in this room was not good. When I told the staff, they kindly moved me to another room. Honestly, lots of flies in the first room. I spent 1 hour+ killing them (more than 20) but they were still there. Luckily the second room was light and clean. The condition seems to vary from room to room.

I rate this overall excellent because for the price, it was great. The room was in okay condition. It had a new sink. The beds were comfortable. The internet wasn’t great. It worked sometimes, but not always. It had a gas station and restaurant near. Area seemed fine, not unsafe at all. Again for the price, you can’t beat it. I would book more basic hotels for this price if they were available

Get what you pay for.

For the price you definately get what you pay for. the rooms are very clean and very spacious. They allow pets for free, which is amazing. My only two complaints were that one the beds are super hard and uncomfortable, I could not sleep on them. The second complaint is that there is a giant area to walk your dogs, but beware, there are burs everywhere, and my poor dogs feet and paws were covered in them.

Not So Clean!

Room wasn't clean, I could see stains on the counter tops as well as the bed sheets. The floor was extremely dirty, and it seemed like it wasn't mopped at all for a long time.

The room was terribly dirty - the floors were filthy and dusty the end tables had sticky spots that were half wiped off, the bathroom faucet had spatters from the previous occupants, the shower had bits of previous bars of soap on the floor, and the water was unbearably hot, we weren't able to shower. The stained mattress was only covered with a flat sheet, that wasn't even tucked in, there was no mattress pad or fitted sheet. The room reeked of old cigarette smoke.
