The stay was very challenging and it took a lot in me to stay because I paid 375.00 for only two days. It wasn’t worth
Pros:

Located to far back off the road

Cons:

The whole hotel had unclean smell to the facility, and the hotel room was very smelly and musty. I had to place lots of air fresheners in the room along with spraying lots of Lysol.

Won’t recommend or stay at this facility again. Just disappointed ☹️
Pros:

Breakfast was not available as posted on Bookings.com and I was unable to adjust the thermostat to my liking and was unreasonably cold. It was very late when I arrived and was too tired to call for extra blankets or adjust the thermostat. Highly disappointed there was no breakfast as mentioned so I left still hungry, angry and disappointed. I will not return to this facility.

Cons:

The desk staff were doing their minimal effort for answering questions but I was too tired to hang around.

Ok for one night, but don’t expect to get the balcony you booked
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

all rooms seem to be advertised to have a balcony. I booked a room with a balcony… to arrive to a window and no balcony.

Pros:

Clean

Cons:

When I booked through Booking.com, there was an option to select a room with or without breakfast, and I chose the breakfast-inclusive rate. Unfortunately, when I checked in, I was informed that no breakfast is served on Mondays. I contacted Booking.com and made them aware of the issue. If you're booking, I would recommend confirming directly with the hotel that breakfast is actually available on the days of your stay so you don't end up paying extra for a service that isn't offered.

Unfortunately, this hotel has lost a one time repeat customer which is bittersweet!
Pros:

This hotel and in convenient to my work place and very affordable. I used to stay here 2-3 times a week until management changed.

Cons:

Change in management they aren’t accommodating and quick to call the local cops over situations that can be resolved easily with the customer.

It was a good stay overall with pleasant accommodations; I especially liked the updated rooms with refrigerators and mic
Pros:

The decor was somewhat updated/modern and the facilities were clean.

Cons:

I booked my stay online and looked forward to breakfast being included only to learn that I get a drink and a pastry. There were additional options available for purchase. So, the breakfast description and options should be more clearly stated on booking sites.
