Ravi

Disliked: Amenities
The room was just adequate. Nothing special. The cleaning between days was non existent- they took used towels, but did not make the bed, leave new towels, replace coffee or cups. Staff was moderately helpful, but not up to expected hotel standards. This hostelry can be compared to a low end Motel 6.

Staff was nice. The room was OK, but with two queen size beds difficult to navigate at times. The mattresses could use a refresh as well. The location was the best part, three blocks from my family‘s home.
