Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures are deceiving. The non-smoking room I reserved smelled as though someone had just smoked a cigarette in it. I was moved to another room, but although it appeared somewhat clean, the linens had an unpleasant odor as well. Overall, the property is dirty and poorly maintained — more like a roadside motel than what was advertised. I would not stay here again.

The Hubby and I spent two days at your establishment and was very impressed by how reasonably priced it was, and how fresh and clean it was as well. We would definitely stay here at another visit.

The property certainly doesn’t look like it does in the photos. A little sketchy at night time - our window curtain was closed by a piece of duct tape. The “restaurant” is a seafood only buffet. And there was beard hair all over the only sink. Otherwise a cheap place to stay if you’re only going to be there to sleep.

My room was comfortable but they need to fix their drainage system. Washer & Dryer were out of order. Bed was comfy. Neiborhood seemed a little suss. Pool looks nice for summer. Breakfast was toast and 2 cereals. Plenty of restaurants around building. See pix.

Although the exterior of this hotel looks dated and basic but the interior of our room was excellent. Very clean, a comfortable bed, good shower and spacious. Perfect for a convenient comfortable short stay.
