Room was very dirty. The people who clean the room need to be a little more detail oriented and the construction of the rooms was very bad. Door hinges of our bathroom door was barely holding on.

So the good first; They’re quick as far as check ins, courteous evening front desk staff, and it’s at a decent location for convenience with good parking and pleasantly quiet. Wtbs, It has an outdated, nostalgic feel to the rooms so they can feel somewhat claustrophobic if too much is going on. It’s great for a quick stay but not extended days stay. Some outlets weren’t working at all in our room, the sink was stopped up from the moment we checked in, there were two water bugs roaming on the wall by the fridge area, and we asked for clean sheets because my child saw stains on the side of his and were told the cleaning got done the day before so besides towels we couldn’t get anything new. Those were my only issues with things that could be improved. But q

The room was a tad bit outdated and the TV did not work. There was a slight mold smell and the front desk ladies were not very nice. Other than that, price, location and view from the top floor were great.
