Pros:

The staff checking my family is was very nice! When we got to the room it smelt bad inside. We tried to open the window for fresh air and the window lock was broken and then the screen also was broken as if someone tried to open it from the outside. The pillows for the beds were so small I would recommend a normal sized pillow for a queen bed. When I was sitting with my child having breakfast, a gentleman and a woman came in and started talking to the man working about some lady in a room and how they would drag her out of the room. They also spoke about coming back later and hoping she would be gone. There was more but it’s hard to piece together exactly what was being said. I felt very uncomfortable and if I would have heard this the night before I never would have let my family stay.

Will book again!
Pros:

I came to visit my sister, and we both stayed here for 3 nights. The room was clean, there were clean sheets and towels, soap is provided in the bathroom if you need it. The pictures are exactly what the room looked like! Breakfast was decent. It’s from 6-9am, so we only had it one morning (too early for us). It’s around a few shops and restaurants, including the mall and Target! So, walking can get you by if you don't have a car. The only thing that was a tiny issue is that it doesn’t have an elevator or ramp. My sister has a nerve issue that makes it really hard to walk sometimes, and it was really hard for her at times to climb the stairs. Other than that, I would definitely book here again! 😁
