Our first impression when checking in was that we weren't sure what we were going to get. But the room was better than what we thought. It was clean suited our needs for an overnight stay. There were a few cosmetic things, but again, it was clean and that is what matters most. We would stay there again

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The blue line is a block away so very convenient. Sheets, towels, etc. All clean. Very quiet. The only slight negatives would be that the carpet itself is a little worn and the Wi-Fi is a little spotty. But overall we were very happy with the stay and would stay here again.

Check in was easy and the hotel is right on the Blue line, so we could easily get to various points around the city, including the airport, with a $4 all-day pass.

Property is next to rail tracks, is on a street split by the tracks (you can’t cross them) so if you’re not on hotels side oof the street, good luck getting there. Arriving in the evening, we found the next morning that the refrigerator was warm. Management told us of course we had to turn the refrigerator on. No mention of that anywhere Bed was comfortable, floors squeaky. Average stay.

I chose this place because it was just down the road from the boy scout Base Camp where my son's troop was for the night. The staff member that checked us in was super nice. Property seemed old and could have used some updates in the rooms for sure. Didn't like that there was no lock on the room door besides the key card entry lock. There was a dead bolt type lock, but it didn't line up so I was unable to use it, which made me feel a little unsafe. My daughter tried to take a shower but after waiting for the water to get hot, it was still luke warm after 10 minutes. The fridge, coffee maker, and tv worked fine. Didn't try the microwave. I don't think there was an ice machine, but I didn't feel comfortable looking around the property for one, and no type of breakfast or anything. The light rail track was on the road in front of the building, so that was a little loud. Overall, it served its purpose, but I'm not sure if I'd stay there again.
