Nothing special. Floors were dirty, took 15/20 minutes for hot water, no where to hang up or put your clothes, nothing for your suitcase either….they go on the floor. For 1 night good, not for extra

This was a minimalist hotel, functional and okay, without any basics (like coffee) in the room. It's value was less than $100/night; however, I was charged $400+/night because of a nearby auto show.

Not bad. Seemed like they were in the middle of some renovating. Check in and check out was fast. Neighbors needed to learn a bit of respect other then that everything was fine.

The staff were very friendly, plenty of spacious parking, rooms could use some fixing up. Overall it was clean but definitely could be more presentable. Beds weren’t the best at least in our room. If you’re looking for a quick stay and need something affordable okay. Big shopping center, and restaurants fairly close to hotel.
