Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviews report severe cleanliness issues (mold in grout, stained towels/mattress, pubic hair, dead-animal smell, bugs, unvacuumed floors), indicating very poor housekeeping.
Service
9.2
Service impressions are mixed but generally positive: several guests described staff as friendly and helpful and the front desk responsive, though there are isolated reports of rudeness at checkout and inconsistent security guidance.
Location
9
Location is described as quiet and comfortable by some guests; however reviewers note limited nearby dining options and a dark rear parking area/doors propped open. Overall reasonably convenient and quiet for many travelers.
Room Quality
3
Rooms are frequently described as dated and in poor repair (holes in walls, stuck doors, rusted ceiling, old soap left in tub, low-quality mattress), indicating below-average room condition.
Amenities
9.4
Amenities received positive mentions (game room, complimentary breakfast available and used by guests). Some issues noted (coffee machine dusty, onsite restaurant closed), but amenities were generally useful to guests.
Value for Money
4
Several guests felt the price did not match condition and cleanliness (one reviewer explicitly said the price should be much lower), indicating poor perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.1
Breakfast was described as sufficient by multiple guests; onsite restaurant closure and a dusty coffee machine were negatives, but morning offerings were generally seen as adequate.
Overall Experience
9
Overall sentiment is mixed: serious cleanliness and room-condition issues lowered experiences for many, yet friendly staff, a usable breakfast and game room led other guests to have a satisfactory stay. The overall experience varies widely by guest.

Pros:

There were signs saying they were updating, but there was no working elevator, and to even get to the first floor rooms you had to climb stairs from the lobby if you couldn’t do stairs, you would have to go outside all the way around the building and in a side door.When I checked in he kept saying I needed to park around back, where it was incredibly dark. I asked about the empty ones on the side under the street lamp and he reluctantly said it was okay. The door to the room stuck and was hard to make sure it was latched. The tub was not cleaned because there was an old bar of soap on top of the shampoo dispensers. The floor had not been vacuumed because I found dried dirt clots. The mattress was not top quality . For the price I paid I would expect at least those things. I feel like the price point was more fair to be around $70 a night not over $150.

Pros:

I do not recommend this hotel. We were in last room on the 2nd floor, next to the outside door.

The outside door was left propped open and no security to open it.

Needs TLC
Pros:

The hotel is very dated, the phone did not work, I was woken by loud banging after midnight which lasted until 3 am. The front desk was responsive but this did not feel like a safe space.

Pros:

I had to kill two bugs in the three days we were there.
I tried to open a window and thought it would fall out.
They were "under construction" but they were putting hard would floors over the dirty carpet.
the bathroom ceiling had rust on it.
The coffee machine had not been "dusted" in weeks.
I would not stay there again or recommend it.

Pros:

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds and main room was outdated but cleaned and tidied. However, the bathroom was a different story, especially the bathtub. There was clear mold in the grout lines and around the tub. Mold could also be seen on the walls and ceiling. We did enjoy the game room and the breakfast was sufficient.

Pros:

The most disgusting place I’ve ever slept. Holes in the walls, smelt of cigarettes, towels with stains, what looked like blood stains on the mattress and the corridor seemed like it hasn’t been vacuumed in years. This room was already booked, it was late and only one other hotel in the area. Let me just tell you slept with ALL of the lights on and kept waking up every 20mins. Truly a horror film setting.

filthy
Pros:

the first room they put us in smelled literally like a decaying animal body. The second room they put us in had trash still on the bedside stand and pubic hair on the floor in the bathroom. That room was never even wiped down or swept. It was literally the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed.

Pros:

We liked that it was clean and quiet. However the onsite restaurant was closed. There wasn’t much variety of restaurants in the area that were easy to walk to.

Pros:

We were very pleased about the property. One concern the ice machine, on the floor near the lobby, was not working. The agent at the front desk was okay. Had some answers to our questions but others nothing. Example: The TV was not working. He offered to move us but we were settled in. He then gave us the password and when used it the TV worked fine.

Other then that things were wonderfull.

Pros:

When we entered the premise - the man at the reception was as rude and not at all welcoming. As we were asking him for a room to stay.. .

We had prepaid our hotel stay - but this guy was as if in a never mind attitude.
The hotel does not have a pool and it says that they have pool. The pool was not functioning.

I would say you will get better hotels to stay than this.

recommend not to go
