Very Good

The TV was not working (cords were plugged in and the power button on the tv nonresponsive) and no remote in the room as well. Called the front desk and reported the situation. No one came to fix, replace the TV or provide a remote. Disappointed that this basic amenity was not available to the guest. Friendly front desk workers though.

Liked: Staff & service
There was a lot of space but this place is run down. The overpowering smell of someone smoking weed in a first floor room was crazy. There is no way the staff didn’t know. Not sure what they could do though.
Breakfast ends by 8:30 but once food runs out after 8ish they won’t be replacing it.
The beds were so small. Maybe I misread and assumed it would be a queen size but it was a full size.
Front desk Staff is friendly. The area is safe. Breakfast is included. If you only need a place to sleep and you plan on eating breakfast super early, it could be the place for you.

Older hotel but well maintained and reasonably priced.
Water in kitchen had bad smell every time it was turned on. Slow drain to kitchen. Microwave inconsistent and not wanting to heat properly. You have to take your towels to the front desk for fresh ones.
