The only good thing about this hotel is it is typically much better than everything around it. It is above the very cheap hotels surrounding it and is priced so that most of the criminal element won't pay for it. Otherwise, the service is between good and horrible at the front desk, depending on who you get. The rooms are... More

the breakfast in the morning sucks. You have the option of one kind of bread (presumably for toast?), milk, and two kinds of cereal. I've eaten a better bfast at a super 8, and that's saying something. There's no restroom in the lobby. The front desk worker bobby is a chatty-cathy. He talks too much. But he's nice. The other...

Very cool desk clerk! Nice room with two queen size beds that were so comfortable, slept sound, very nice mattresses. Working fridge, microwave oven and TV. Very quiet, even though right on a very busy intersection. Lots of towels, not those little tiny bath towels. Good rate for two people. This was my second visit to this hotel and it... More

I'd rate this good (not 'very good') or 3 1/2 stars if possible. We had a reservation for 4 nights. The website said some rooms have fridges and microwaves but no further explanation. When we checked I was very surprised that we were asked to pay for all 4 nights in advance! We were given a room that REEKED of... More

In my first review of the hotel I rated them a 1 rating but should have been a 4 rating. This hotel was a nice surprise for the price. Loved the people that worked there and wouldn't want this cause them any problems.

We arrived late and were unsure of the neighborhood. The very nice desk person gave us a room with two queen beds that was located away from parking and near the pool. The pool was closed.

Just perfect. Very convenient, especially if you're not driving. 66 bus stops right in front. Nearby Milton's Diner is open late, cheap, friendly, and casual. Hotel staff was super nice and very helpful with local tips. Warm, clean room, with amazingly comfy, huge bed. Great for fatties!! I even used the pool. It wasn't heated, oh well.

Pros - rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were friendly. Very close to downtown. Cons - they have a huge sign outside saying 'free high-speed wi-fi', but the internet was barely detectable, let alone usable, and not even almost 'high-speed'. The hotel next door and the restaurant three doors down were easier to connect to. I was woken up by... More
