Hotel looks like new. Spacious room. Have microwave, refrigerator, very convenient. Lot of parking. I didn’t like that that rooms are cleaned only once a week. I asked for towels and bed sheets and i changed myself. Breakfast didn’t have egg or sausages but overall experience was good . Staff in the front desk very pleasant and helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great size of the room - A pet-friendly/non-smoking double queen. Good price. The location of the room we stayed in is very close to where folks gather outside to smoke/lounge. There is a small seating area very close to the window of this room. It makes me feel uncomfortable. The deal breaker however is the cleanliness (or lack thereof). Everyone has different standards for clean, but I feel like at a hotel it is fair to have a minimum standard of cleanliness. This room far from meets that, and is very unfortunately the least clean hotel I've stayed in to date. Dirty floors, a partially scrubbed toilet bowl, plops of animal fur, dead bugs, one crusty appearing sock, and a used mouth guard to boot. This will be my first and last visit to this hotel.
Partially cleaned toilet
Dirty floor - kitchen area
Used retainer, dead bugs in the background - bedside
Plop of fur

Overall - good

Overall, a nice hotel. Our room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The room was large with plenty of room for our luggage (2 adults/ 2 kids). Check in was quick and easy with friendly staff. The rooms are not soundproof, so we could hear music and very heavy footsteps from the room above us. Very simple breakfast items, continental not a buffet (no eggs/ meats). Musty smell in the hallways and only 1 elevator. Overall, a good hotel that we'd stay in again in traveling through the area.
