This is place isn't so cheap anymore and is quite rundown. Damaged walls, unfinished repairs, broken fixtures, microwave from the 80's, no coffee maker. Garbage on hotel ground, moldy/dirty patio furniture. Friendly staff

I loved this place, it was amazing, honestly! There was some damages to the walls when i got there and some patch work that needed painting. But i was so looking forward to a warm bath. And then i find the drains been broken. Other than that it was bad. Maybe a rug under the bed.

Had a little trouble with the check in getting the correct room, and the key to work with the room, but the staff was incredibly responsive and helpful in fixing the issue! They were great! That is not a complaint at all…quite the opposite, they were great!!

I stayed there 2 nights. There was no room service and I came back to dirty towels, unmade beds and trash bins still full after a day of travel. There was also an issue with the pet deposit. The front desk staff were nice.
