The place is falling apart a bit structurally. The front desk is tiny and is where an also tiny breakfast is served. Front desk staff had a very indifferent demeanor. Double charged us accidentally and took over a week to resolve it. Totally serviceable for a needed place to stay, not recommended for leisure/vacation.

When we arrived, even though the room looked like it had been cleaned, the restroom was still dirty with toilet paper still in the toilet, and no extra rolls near by. There was a bad smell in the room and the surrounding area.

Very nice for the price. The breakfast was simple, but perfect for us. A bagel with cream cheese, yogurt, fruit and coffee. The location was also nice and centralized for all of our outings. Our room was very comfortable.

The property is clean and works for a quick stay, but the surrounding area is just a little rough. Evidence of prostitution and partying is only 1 street away. I think the property itself is safe enough

Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.
