The property is out dated. The area is not very safe. Office closes at 9pm so you cannot request assistance. Room was dirty, floor was not clean, restroom was dirty and there was no soap. Not worth the price. Property states breakfast is provided but that is false advertisement, they had nasty coffee and a few granola bars. Do not stay here!!!

Sunny D and Costco granola bars are not breakfast. Rooms could use a thorough deep cleaning. Mattresses probably cost 80 bucks new 10 years ago. Pillows are small square and stuffed full of ground up memory foam that sounds comfortable in theory but my neck is still sore even 24hrs after checkout. Husband and wife team who run it. The wife was nice. The husband gave the impression that I was bothering him when I asked him for extra towels. Conveniently located two blocks away from Starbucks.

The hotel was clean, but needs definite updating. It needs a little updating because it’s old.

If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

Paper thin walls and stark industrial neighborhood made this a place we wanted to leave in the rear view. The room was spare but clean. Nice TV. The walls are thin, and the landings echo, hear the

On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.
