Rooms were clean, and staff was friendly. However, beds were not very comfortable and the heating/fan system was VERY loud making rattling noises and turning off and on all night, resulting in little sleep. Also, woke up to strong weed smell from neighbors, I'm assuming.

The property and the room rate was good. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and there were no foul odors. I did notice that there is some wear and tear, such as some water damage and worn spots in the hallway carpet. However those things did not affect our stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

We paid for an executive room. Toilet did not work properly. We were told there is no maintenance person on the weekends and we should use the lobby bathroom. Room also had a weird smell. Beds were comfortable and the other things in the room worked at least. Not recommended.
