Nice place, just needs more staff
Leaking tub never got fixed. Understaffed, couldn't find front desk a lot because they were running around helping others.

Not the worst but not the best....
Asked for a room on the top floor weeks in advance and although I know it's not a given, all the lady on the front desk could say was that they were fully booked???? (she was Miss Personality for sure) and as I thought there was a herd of elephants wearing hob nailed boots in the room above. Why can't they build a hotel with good soundproofing???? surely in 2024 they should've come up with an answer? The bed seemed small for a Queen, the fridge was loud which seems to be a given. The crockery and glasses had been washed in a slapdash manner. The water was scalding hot which I kinda liked but not sure it would've been good to a small child. The room was clean, it was lacking in towels, two very small and thin bath towels and one hand towel. Free coffee in the lobby, the bold blend was indeed bold.... The Red Roof Inn behind the hotel appears to be budget housing or migrant housing. There was a bunch of kids playing soccer on the car park and the ball managed to hit a few cars in the preferred parking spots back there. All in all not the worst place I've stayed in and thankful that I didn't get a room with a connecting door!

Lobby and rooms were clean. Front desk was polite and helpful. Very convenient to UB Flint road entrance. Right behind this hotel however is the Red Roof Inn which really brings down the property value. I don’t know if people live there or not but we saw laundry hanging on the balcony and some sketchy looking activity. Otherwise this hotel is good. I love the fact that the rooms have kitchenettes and refrigerators. Would stay here again.

Our major issue was that they revised their pet policy, resulting in extra charges. This was not the policy stated in the web site where we boooked

Our major issue was that they changed the pet policy, unbeknownst to us, resulting in an extra charge. The pet policy as stated in Orbitz is inaccurate.
