Scary!!! No heat in room, no lamps, no closet, no bathtub, toilet paper holder broken, only stayed one night. Hopefully refund for 2nd night. The Brit in a portable heater which did not work, Brit in a 2nd one. Bathroom tiny and room 1/3 size if normal room. Extremely disappointed! My granddaughter sprained ankle at hockey game, our room was located FAR away where she had to haul her hockey gear….limping with pain.

Building is in two parts which is a determining factor on the overall experience. Location is close to bus stop and airport, but in a less desirable part of town. Breakfast waffles are good, bedding and overall clealiness needs improvement.

Great place to stay!

Nice place but lots of homeless people around the area that make it unsafe and only seen one or two cops in the are, a larger police force in the area would make the area safe. Every one was nice and keep to them self, just keep in mind great for people looking for a nice place to stay but not so much if you have a family you need to keep tabs on lol.

Had maintenance above my room beating on things for over an hour, then had dirty water dripping from my ceiling onto my bed. Was told there were no other available rooms and that the shuttle driver would be the one to come check out my maintenance problem, very discouraging, went somewhere else.

They were doing some renovations on the property but it was still not clean. The shower in our room had mold and mildew built up so bad that I could not even take a shower in it. The door handle on our room fell off and I told them about it and I left the next day and it still had not been fixed. I canceled my other reservation there.

Worst hotel I have ever walked into AVOID

This hotel is by far the absolutely nastiest hotel I have ever walked into. I use hotels.com all the time and I think they probably should not allow this hotel to advertise on their website it is that bad. On top of the disgusting conditions of the room, this is a very bad part of town with a bunch of tweekers just walking around. This is my first review because even if I can save one person from staying here before a flight out early the next morning or whatever it is, that is worth my time writing this. These pictures they share are NOT what this hotel looks like.
