The room is relatively small, similar to that in Hong Kong, but it looks relatively tidy, so the price-performance ratio is okay. The only complaint I have is the breakfast, we woke up early and ended up with just a few slices of bread and a small amount of coffee.

Normally I stay downtown or higher end hotels but I had a good time at the hotel. My room was right next to parking spot and I got good deal thru online booking. Nice updates. Breakfast could have been more options and wish the gym was available but I found one down the street from where I was.

My stay wasn’t too bad but I don’t think I would recommend this place to anyone or be back. Everything seems updated and clean in the inside

Took 20 minutes for someone to come to front desk to check in. Room smelled like bad food, none of the washers or dryers worked floors were very dirty, specially in the hallways and stairs.

Picture and actual not the same
We had to use the refrigerator. Terrible noise. Window screen torn apart. Bathroom door handle falling apart. Toilet seat loose. Had to be bag of eggs thrown into warmer. Both days they were cold. Pillows to small. On the bright side shower was nice.

At 2:45 AM, hotel was loud with drunk/high people in the hallway and on balcony next to room. Could not sleep and asked them to quiet it down with returned laughter. When I express my displeasure with manager in the morning, he just nodded with agreement.

The laddies room should be clean at least right...
Wife went to use the ladies restroom in the lobby and there was mouse crap. Room was dirty, bed was made, no smoking thats a joke. Seen cats in windows from the outside. Gave a 50 dollar deposit, didnt apply it to the bill. Not a bad spot if you're a crack head...
