Anonymous, Sep 2023

One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Many extended stay residents up past midnight playing loud music. Room was in disrepair. Do not stay here with children.

Pros. Breakfast was unavailable. The bed and room itself were comfortable.

Cons. The overall cleanliness of the hotel could have been much better. I was disappointed with the amount of dirt and junk that surrounded the hallway to the room.
