It was fine for the cost.
Pros:

Friendly staff Overall and fairly safe, decent location

Cons:

Booking daily dates to save money on the rates, but booked several days in a row, sometimes more than that was a GUGE issue and disappointment. I even used the same website online, but it meant I had to check in and out by 11 am each day and get new key cards update and do a new deposit so it takes 5-7 days for my old deposit to be refunded then a new one is added every day instantly. Further, it’s a very loud and busy place. People are always talking loudly, many buses and trucks, lots of police and fire truck sirens. Lots of drunk people and drug ushers. Many deliver trucks with loud voice and revers beeping early
In the morning. People screaming and talking loudly on their phones.

Good stay
Pros:

At first, I was a bit concerned when I saw the hotel from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the rooms were. The location turned out to be very convenient, close to restaurants and the train station, which made getting around easy.

The receptionist was incredibly kind and ready to help us at all times. Since we arrived early, she did everything she could to make us comfortable while we waited for our room, which I really appreciated.

One small note: the listing mentions a continental breakfast, but it’s not quite what you might expect. There’s a juice machine, a coffee machine, and packaged cookies available in the lobby.

Overall, it was a good stay and a positive experience.

I’ve stayed at better
Pros:

Price and room was good except the door jam was broken

Cons:

The out side smelled. I think someone was doing drugs. And I stayed there for the breakfast. A granola bar is not breakfast.

I felt like I stayed the night in a city dumpster with loud banging noises every 10 minutes. SAD!
Pros:

The breakfast was a 100 calorie cereal bar in a basket! That’s it! They were expired!!!!

Cons:

The room was filthy and we felt very unsafe!! The broken lock latch and the dirty floors were disgustingly nasty! The entire room smelled like cigarettes.
