“I was having a difficult time finding a hotel at a reasonable price and stumbled across this one. Let me start by saying that the room was very clean and spacious. I was very happy that the place had a refrigerator and microwave. Check-in was easy, and I was able to check in before 3 p.m. with no issues whatsoever. The fitness room was clean, and the staff were very kind and attentive. I think the only issue I had was with the curtains. They wouldn’t fully slide, so the corner was exposed, so I had to move a chair to keep the curtain in place. Other than that, I was very happy with my stay :).”
