The room was clean, had two simple but comfortable beds, a microwave, big fridge and a hot shower. I can't ask for more than that from a budget hotel. The lobby and first floor smell like stale cigarette smoke, but that's what you need to accept if you want a budget hotel; the smokers have been excluded from all the fancy hotels.
When I went to check-in, the guy at the front desk had a bad attitude. I questioned him as to why my reservation quoted me one price and he was giving me another price. He even asked to show him the reservation, but when I did, his only response was to call Expedia Customer Service. He showed little to no interest in helping resolve the situation. And when finally got into the room, there was water all over the floor because the A/C unit in the room was leaking. Had to go and get towels to clean it and just felt like I was a bother to the front desk employee instead of him being there to assist me as the guest. Just left a bad taste in my mouth. Definitely unwilling to return.

Bed was way too hard, felt the springs in my rib cage
Room was large, but very spartan. No spots for even small suitcases. No counter space in the bathroom Bathroom was large and had many assist bars. Mediocre TV - small screen and few channels. TV service was s-l-o-w. Room and bathroom were clean. Bed was comfortable. Ice machines were all inop. NO BREAKFAST even though I thought I saw they did offer it. Decent location. Not sure we would stay here again.
Clean room but the bed was a little harder than I expected. Had to ring the bell on counter several times before anyone came to check us in . Ice machine was broken in the lobby . Very quiet and good location .
You get what you pay for. So spend a little more $ for a good night sleep. Alsphad to check at front desk for a hair dryer. What room doesn't have a hair dryer in it??

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
I liked having access to a stove, but the elevator injured my wife so I can't say I'd go back. Also don't go here if you have pets
