Good overall for the price. Would stay again!

For the price, the place is a gem! Very happy with things overall. The sheets weren’t washed, pen marks on the fitted sheet and bleach stains on the blanket. Garbage under the bed, but I remained thankful for the location and price. You do get a nice little bag for breakfast. Staff was nice and friendly. Let us check in for 30.00 early.

Never again.

The room was always cold even with the heater on so we had to sleep with our own extra blankets. There is NO complimentary breakfast. There is NO parking. Housekeeping only came after asking the lobby hist if we could get more towels. The floors have no carpet, so like i was saying about the cold, FREEZING!! No microwave in the room. This place is only good for one night quick stays..

Close to AirTran station and shopping area

Convenient for AirTran rider and near Jamaica shopping area; a working desk in the room but no chair, charging 5 dollar for leaving one piece of luggage which is acceptable since no locker nearby.
