While the basics were there. It was not a terrible room but the odor was strong. Smelled like smoke, cigarettes and weed. Also, there was a couple of people with dogs that were continuously barking all morning..starting from 7:30 all the way to our check out at 11. If you need cheap and don't care about odor or dogs barking it will be perfect. We will never stay again. Thank goodness we had only reserved and paid for one night through Expedia.

The hotel lobby smelled like solvent, and the room smelled musty and old cigarette smoky. The a/c and fridge were cold but loud and annoying.

I appreciated getting the higher-level room I requested, but that’s about where the positives end. Housekeeping never came during my 5-day stay, even after multiple requests. Highway noise.Towels had to be picked up at the front desk, and the bedding didn’t even fit properly. The hotel felt a bit unsafe, though thankfully nothing happened. I wasn’t expecting luxury, but I did expect better than motel-level service. Sadly, I can’t recommend this hotel for longer stays.

I was originally assigned a room that reeked of smoke. When this was reported to the desk staff, they apologized profusely and immediately gave me another room.

The actual room was very nice but it faced the hifhway so very noisy. And the elevators made a terrible noise. Was afraid of getting stuck. Bath towel was tiny.
