It has a feel of yucky
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The outside is old but rooms were fine. Good AC, bed was soft, pillows too hard, Bonnie the owner is delightful.
Dawn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The parking entrance/exits are so steep one can rip the under carriage of their car out if they aren't careful and going 5MPH inching forward on an angle. It was $280 for one night, the towels are pathetically thin, the floor in the bathroom was dirty, the ancient soda machine only takes coins, no breakfast, and the traffic noise is significant. On Hotels.com, this hotel advertises pricing at $50 per night. That is about what it's worth, but not what it was priced at 11/14/2025. Grossly overpriced for what it is, even with the reno and a fresh paint job. NEVER AGAIN.

Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is clean but there was a couple next door doing god knows what until 2am music so loud and yet I could hear their noises over the music and they were crushing the bed against my bed wall. I placed a noise complaint but the hotel is not staffed overnight. I don’t think I’ll be staying here again. I definitively will ensure there’s 24h staff next place I stay at

Excelente for stay , clean and confortable
mayelin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok for the one night stay. Customer service is not what they worried about here. I'll just leave that there but the room was VERY out-dated. The bathroom was great! The bed and the single chair in the room from "1970" was weird. The chair didn't recline. Not being boogie but it looked and was old! I shouldn't have expected it to recline as the first one made! It had no cushion in the seat. I sat down and got up immediately as I thought I might fall through it. It had a cig burn on the left arm...why wouldnt that chair have been changed out? I took before and after pics as I always do. The metal "band" around/under the bed was new. You walk up like normal to put stuff on the bed and "bang"! Your toes are assaulted lol. Seriously! First hotel I've seen it. Quick layover- good. More than one night- no.

Quick/easy check in & out. Room seemed new, recently remodeled. Clean, great condition, sizable bathroom. Didn’t hear any neighbors or outside noise. Located in a great area amongst plenty of shops & restaurants. Will stay there again.
