The staff person at check in was not friendly and acted as if we were inconveniencing her. At checkout, they didn’t ask if we had a good stay or if we liked our room. The room was ok but dark. The me wall was painted dark brown which was ugly and made the room dark even with the lights on.

Super convenient and pricing is good the only problem is the upkeep of the property. Our room was pretty dirty, found hair on the bed, filthy food stained fridge, dirt stains in the bathroom, shower head had rust and calcium build up, etc. Its not the WORST but definitely needs better deep cleaning and property upkeep. This is my second time staying here and it was disappointing seeing how bad our room was when the reason i booked was because our first time was great!

You could tell this room was dirty right when you walk through the door, the base boards seemed like they were falling apart, one part was already half way off the wall, dirt and scuffs all over the walls, bed sheets were dirty (you were able to scratch off some sort of food off the sheet with your fingernail) elevator in the building across the street from the office makes a odd scratching noise. Unfortunately wouldn't stay again :(

Pleased - Would Stay Again
The room had fresh paint, furniture that was in good condition (not banged up or "old" looking), a comfortable bed with new-looking sheets and cover, and we had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee-maker, and even a sink and mirror (i.e. a mini-kitchen) in the room, which was very handy, especially since the size of the bathroom sink/counter was somewhat small. The bathroom was also in nice shape. Everything (except the coffee cups) appeared to be clean, and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
