Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

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.
