Liked: Staff & service

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

This hotel felt more like a motel. While it was clean, conveniently located near stores and restaurants, and situated in a decent area overall, I noticed several areas in the room that needed repair. There appeared to be potential termite issues, as I observed wood damage on the wall and baseboard trim. Additionally, I found a cockroach in my room. Unfortunately, because I booked through Expedia, the hotel was unable to offer any refund for part of my stay.

Affordable Stay with Room for Improvement

I found this place to be very affordable, and overall, it was a great experience. The only concern I had was a noticeable smell of cigarettes, which could be improved by implementing a no-smoking policy. Aside from that, it felt safe and welcoming. Considering the price, it was definitely a worthwhile stay!
