SMELLY ROOM

The room smelled "moldy". Requested a different room but that room had the moldy smell but not as bad. Very annoying. No patios/ bacony's which was upsetting. Would probably NOT go back.

The suite had a faulty fan in between the bedrooms but otherwise the inside of the building was nice. The outside area is in a neighborhood that seems a little run down but inside was nice and staff friendly.

Outdated, but Pleasant

The property is pretty outdated, but it’s clean, and the beds are comfortable. We were just staying one night, and chose this property to be close to the airport. I’d stay here again.

Very expensive for what we got.

They gave us a room that smelled like cigarettes, and when we walked in, there was a mess on the bed. The pillows smelled like cigarettes too. Very expensive for what we got.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and pleasantly fragrant. The shower was hot as I like it. The bed was comfortable, not too firm, not too soft.
