Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews cite grimy bathrooms, wet/soggy carpet from AC, persistent smells from the AC, ants, unclean grout, and general rundown condition — overall poor cleanliness.
Service
9.5
Several guests describe front desk staff as outstanding and helpful (re-located rooms, personally checked AC); one negative staff comment exists but overall service is a strong positive and is weighted higher to offset other issues.
Location
9
Consistently praised as convenient and well-located (near Union, close to guests' destinations) — a clear strength.
Room Quality
6
Mixed: comfortable beds and good storage/kitchenettes are noted, but issues include AC problems, smoke/food smells, small TV, hard beds for some, and maintenance problems (toilet, trim, holes).
Amenities
6
Amenities like full fridges and kitchenettes are useful for extended stays, but limited breakfast (none), a single elevator, poor kitchenette lighting, and a limited convenience store reduce perceived amenity value.
Value for Money
6.7
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
5
No provided breakfast, limited convenience store options, and cooking smells from other rooms are noted — overall underwhelming F&B offerings.
Overall Experience
7.9
Mixed overall: strong location and service plus comfortable beds and kitchenettes create decent stays for many, but cleanliness and maintenance issues lower the overall experience for others.

Pros:

The staff was helpful. I had an issue with the AC in my room and they were able to quickly find a new room for me and even personally checked it out first to make sure the AC was working.

Cons:

The rooms smelled which I came to realize was the AC. The room and bathroom was grimy, dirty and rundown. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I stay here again.

I stay because of the location. It is a solid hotel, but not fancy. Beds are comfy. TV is small.
Pros:

The location is perfect for my needs and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Cons:

My room did have a smoke smell. Because each room has a mini kitchen and is great for extended stays, you do sometimes smell their food cooking.

Overall, a decent stay.
Pros:

Comfortable bed; convenient location to my daughter’s house.

Cons:

Started having small ants in the room toward the end of my stay. Didn’t like that trash pickup was only once a week.

Other than those small infractions all was good.
Pros:

Did not make it there. Slept in,

Cons:

The toilet tankl would not fill, had to remove tank top to get to float and move it to get it filled. Also a peice of floor trim had fallen off of the base board.

Probably not a repeat.
Pros:

I liked that the location was near to Union. The closet was a great size, bathroom was a good size, great storage. I liked the full size fridge and kitchenette.

Cons:

HARD bed. The air never shuts off completely, the fan was loud. The staff was shitty. NO BREAKFAST. the convenience store has limited options that are healthy.
