Mixed: praised as excellent/central for a stopover and convenient for events, but also described as in a dreary area, somewhat far from restaurants, not visible in town and hard to find.

Mixed comfort: some guests liked the beds and clean rooms, others found beds not very comfy; small bathrooms, accessibility issues (no elevator) and signs of needed repairs/poor remodeling were noted.

Value for Money
8.5
Strong positive: multiple guests stated the hotel was worth the low price, a good budget option and appropriate for working-class travelers or a road-trip stopover.
Food and Beverage
5.8
Generally negative: several guests criticized the breakfast (poor coffee, fake cream cheese, overcooked eggs, 'truly horrible' comment), though a few items (sausages, waffle maker) received praise.
Overall Experience

Overall pleasant stay for many: clean and comfortable for the price with friendly staff, but drawbacks (breakfast quality, odors, maintenance issues, occasional poor service) temper the experience.

Pros:

The front desk man

Cons:

The 3 noisy tvs and breakfast was aweful. That's what happens when you try too hard to save money on the supplies for
your guests.

Not likely to stay at this establishment again.
Pros:

Bed was comfortable, great night's sleep.

Cons:

I would have liked to have the trash collected daily. Not much of a selection for breakfast. When asking for 2 cups on the third day, we were told there was two in the room! I have never used a paper cup more than once! Such items should be replenished daily!!

Decent
Pros:

The room was good and clean but our bathroom door didn’t lock

Cons:

The staff was very rude and aggressive. I accidentally double booked and the staff informed me that since it was through a third party to contact them. So after I contacted the third party app they informed me that I had to contact the desk about pushing my other booking to a later date since I couldn’t get a refund which I was okay with. I went back to the desk and the man became aggressive saying that the third party app was lying and that he can’t approve the date change while I was on the phone with the third party app then he dismissed me. To this day the app still says “waiting for property to approve date change” I’m highly disappointed with the customer service at this location
