Clean, Comfortable, Safe

The stay was absolutely amazing. 5 stars, my wife and I enjoyed a comfortable clean room. Plenty of parking, near our destinations we needed to travel to. Late at night while smoking, felt safe. Breakfast is also included in the morning and access to ice and a gym. I would recommend this place

Fruit flies flying around, dirty floors, collapsing bathroom fixtures, no breakfast, cold water from turned down thermostat, WOULD NOT STAY HERE FOR FREE!
Aijaz, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful experience! Would recommend.
Shafiq, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The carpets throughout the hotel were filthy. There was cable tv. The phone had no phone wire to make calls or even get a wake up call. There was no coffee in the breakfast lounge. They had cereal, muffins and donuts packaged for breakfast. The juices were so watered down they tasted awful. The extra door latch was off so there was no safety on the door.
