Other than the bed being too hard, I had absolutely no problems. The check-in was quick and easy. The staff friendly and my room was cleaned without me asking for the service. Loved that the back entrance was literally in gateway parking lot.

The best thing about this hotel is that it’s by Gateway if it were not for that the price should be significantly cheaper. There were a sworm of ants in the bathroom and we saw to roaches during the night. The bed was hard and room is small. I would’ve rated higher if not for the bugs. I read reviews prior to my stay and I was expecting bugs.
