The breakfast options were very minimal, and not that great. The space was small and very crowded. The room was not what was shown in the picture; the picture looked more luxurious and the room was not at all luxurious.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property itself does not feel safe, as they take your ID through a sliding window. One staff member at check-in was not helpful and told me to cancel the reservation if I was not happy. I received this attitude at night, which was very unprofessional. The room had a bad smell and a wooden roof. Breakfast items were finished and not refilled. There is no elevator, so guests must carry heavy luggage upstairs themselves, regardless of the weather.

A/C worked well, clean big room, refrigerator worked. There was no coffee pot even though there was coffee setup. Laundry was out of service. The sink spout splashed if turned on too much. Overall I like this place. The price is right and I will go back again. If all those things were working I would recommend the place to my friends and family.

The rooms were not well maintained and the property was a little rundown. We had to ask for a new room because the walls were dirty in the first room. It was supposed to sleep 6 people but 2 of the beds were too small for 2 people so we had to get another room. Even with 4 people in the room it felt cramped because the room had a weird layout. I would not stay here again or recommend this location. It was way overpriced for what we got.

The spigot in our bath wasn't working properly. For some reason, hot and cold water couldn't mix to make warm water, so water was either hot or cold. When switching to the shower, there was a better (warm) temperature, but the switch was also not working properly so the spigot still had water coming out with the shower on. Also, our hair dryer showed power but couldn't turn on even after resetting. Other than those things, check in was very easy and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was also good for a continental breakfast.

Water was like warm when turned to maximum hot. The AC unit smelled like mildew. The walls were dirty and moldy in the bathroom. The walls and ceiling were thin enough that we constantly heard people running above us and making noise. There was a loud party in the room next door that went on until 11pm at night and I made multiple attempts to reach out to the front desk to enforce the noise policy but kept getting a busy signal on the phone. It was frustrating. Would not book this hotel ever again
