Ok place for the price
The room is spacious and feel clean. One night stand light did not work. The dresser which TV is sitting on is scuffed up. It looks like new wall paints but some walls are scuffed up.

Good customer service but rooms need help.
Great check-in experience. Young lady was very pleasant. Room was clean but super outdated and some things needed repaired. Bathroom door is super small and not handicapped accessible. Makeup mirror ready to fall off the wall. Bathroom door doesn't close, shower curtain sticks to you when showering(need rounded rod).

The staff person at check in was not friendly and acted as if we were inconveniencing her. At checkout, they didn’t ask if we had a good stay or if we liked our room. The room was ok but dark. The me wall was painted dark brown which was ugly and made the room dark even with the lights on.

I liked that there were two property options across from eachother. Our room was a double room with 2 tvs. It was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Super convenient and pricing is good the only problem is the upkeep of the property. Our room was pretty dirty, found hair on the bed, filthy food stained fridge, dirt stains in the bathroom, shower head had rust and calcium build up, etc. Its not the WORST but definitely needs better deep cleaning and property upkeep. This is my second time staying here and it was disappointing seeing how bad our room was when the reason i booked was because our first time was great!

You could tell this room was dirty right when you walk through the door, the base boards seemed like they were falling apart, one part was already half way off the wall, dirt and scuffs all over the walls, bed sheets were dirty (you were able to scratch off some sort of food off the sheet with your fingernail) elevator in the building across the street from the office makes a odd scratching noise. Unfortunately wouldn't stay again :(
