This is a one-fifty a night property at best. It's advertised as breakfast included, but be prepared for the most meagre breakfast consisting of English muffins, peanut butter and jam, yoghurt, some hard boiled eggs, juice and coffee. No scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes or waffles. Rooms are small with minimal furnishings. It's a weird, dilapidated old hotel that the owner has clearly put on life support. Our rate was two-fifty a night, talked to other guests whose rate was higher. Definitely a rip off at these rates.

Breakfast set up is very poorly organized with bread and English muffins on one side and the toaster on the other side. It causes people to be going back and forth and bumbling into each other. The second day there was no eggs. The rooms are super small so it’s hard to get out on one side of the bed as it’s right at the wall with the AC. Only 2 pillows that were very flat and 2 bath towels that were super thin. It’s definitely Econo. It was clean and the staff were nice.

This place needs a major overhaul. Carpets are stained and room smell musty. Although close to downtown the number of homeless and drug addicts hanging around the hotel makes it fell unsafe. Although this is the case in the entire downtown area.
I would recommend staying at one of the newer hotels further from downtown for the same price.

There was nothing almost in the room, no coffee or coffee maker, no microwave or heater, no shampoo. The fridge was empty. The breakfast was so basic, not much option. Do not count on Breakfast. It has free parking which is good. At night when we came back to inn and to our room aa stranger chased us and entered to inn from back door that goes to parking and it is a one way door it means you can exit but no enter. she knocked on the door and when i opened the door she pretended that she lost her room ànd when I went to parking from the back door I realized the door was not latched and was ajar and the same woman was in parking and taking a shopping cart with stuff insde and surprised by seeing me and gone. I informed the reception and he said I will take care of it. thank god nothing happened untill next morning. Even the police car was parked in front of the inn. but check in and check out was easy and staff were friendly and nice.

My king bed was visibly bent when I walked in the room. A 15 degree incline at the foot of the bed, clearly the mattress has never been flipped or rotated. Coils were painful. I had to sleep on top of the duvet for extra cushioning. The duvet was very soft and nice, worked well as a mattress topper. My window was broken, would not close, it got cold at night. Continental breakfast was nice, is included, but the booking is misleading. They have the same king room listed for $10 more/night but says no breakfast. I had to scroll to the bottom of their room selection to find the breakfast included option, at a cheaper price. It seems like they're purposely trying to get a higher rate and not give breakfast. But, upon arrival, the breakfast area is in the lobby, there are no vouchers and no one asks your room #, so it must be included for all guests. Why does it only say \"breakfast included \" in one of your 3 room options?? Also, they're renovating the property, woke at 8am to stomping on the roof. I ask for the top floor for a reason! No one warned me about roof repair, and 8am is too early for on-site work to begin.

The check-in was done with efficiency. The key card envelope needs to be changed. It looked old, dog-eared, and well-used. The carpet on the stairs needs vacuuming; there was visible dirt on the floor on every stair. The front glass doors were very dirty with fingerprints and dirt. The first room we were given had an open window that would not close - no latch to close. We were given a second room, which was fine. The room seemed clean and tidy, the bathroom was clean, but the bathtub looked old and worn with some mould around the edges. The room met our expectations, but I was disappointed with the general cleanliness.

Staff was great and the hotel is in a great location with lots of parking. The inside badly needs an update, there were small holes in the walls, and about half the furniture was a little broken. The first room we went to didn't have a working lock, and the room we stayed in smelled a little like cat pee (very odd). Bed was comfortable and it was clean at least. Definitely not worth the $300 we paid for the room, maybe get this place at a discount if you can.
