Excellent Stay
Good experience. Actually better than I expected. Clean, comfortable, and neat. The fridge was a slim 5 foot one with a freezer and a decent size microwave. Those 2 things are a bonus and both in immaculate condition. The sheets were clean and the bed was made up nice. Bathroom was also clean. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was that the ‘bathroom sink’ is placed outside of the bathroom close to the microwave and counter which was weird to me.

Semi decent no frills hotel
It was an ok stay but they were very stingy with the towels. The towels were perfect for a baby but not for adults. Other than that it was ok for the price

Totally surprised about the cleanliness and amenities of this location, at first sight it doesn't look like much but I've enjoyed multiple stays here. The pricing is great as well

While the bathroom and the sheets were clean, the blanket and pillows were stained. I did appreciate that the nonsmoking room was not smoky, and all the staff members were very friendly.
