Best Hotel room I have ever stayed in. If you have to stay long term... Stay Here! The Studio is exceptional.
We got a good scare from the smoke detector going off because of the bathroom door being open while the shower was on but the staff was very kind and patient.
The room was very dirty. Hair and stains everywhere. Dirty kitchen. Room was not cleaned. The hotel needs lots of attention. The pictures online are not consistent with its current condition.

We were so comfy here, we booked a 2nd night.
Breakfast was good and lots of options. Room was very spacious. Value priced. Super friendly staff.
The room was okay. The tv never connected so I stayed up and looking at the ceiling all night. The breakfast was also ok the pancake machine didn’t work. Staff was good
