Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was dirty and awful. The room smelled terrible. The bathroom wasn't clean and the floors had hair on them. Do not stay here. You would do better to sleep in your car. The shower was disgusting and the shower lever to turn on the shower was broken. The curtain was bad and there was no bath mat. The hotel itself was dirty and dusty. Wish we had never stayed here and wish we could have got our money back. AWFUL!!!

Mary

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Great for pet accomodation with green space but 3floor walk up so not great for accessibility. Staff were welcoming and friendly and beds were comfortable and clean. Toilet and sink were clean. Floors felt grimy, duct tape used for repairs in tub, door didn't latch consistently (had to double check the latch). Room and building generally run down. Room was a little apartment with kitchen which was nice to have space but did not have a coffee maker nor coffee cups. No garbage containers in room, toiletries were just 2tiny bars of soap. No hairdryer as pictured. Fighting heard late at night, many guests seemed to be struggling long term tenants. Noises were not from dogs but unhappy people. Price was much lower than other places and only place that will accommodate pets. We would likely not stay again as it did not feel safe and cleanliness could be improved.

Room was fine. It met our needs and budget for pet friendly accommodation. The stove was extremely clean, likely because there were no pots or pans or bakeware.

I liked that the beds were in separate rooms and the beds were comfortable. Also, it was a full apartment if that’s what you are needing. We were just there for sleeping one night. The rooms were clean as well. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of noise in the hallway during the night and it echoed into our room. The property was all a bit rundown but we just needed a place to sleep without spending a fortune. You get what you pay for.
