There are better places to go. Pass on this.

Not a clean establishment. My room was really dirty, rotten milk spilled and hard candy stuck to the chair.. YUCK! She upgraded me to something else. Not much of an upgrade other than it was slightly cleaner than the first. I opened the bedside drawer only to find remnants of a broken meth pipe. Sketchy characters walking around in parking lot, I wanted to sleep in my car as I felt it needed protecting.. , but it was snowing and pretty cold. I decided to have few beers at their bar.. 2 employees were getting drunk. I ordered the burger, my bun was burnt and completely black on the inside. Don’t stay here. I have never in my felt the need to leave a review about anything, today is the day that had to happen.

I enjoy staying here, the building is old and needs updated soon. The heater only works when its all the way turned up. Other than that there's not much that takes away from staying here.

Good location

Even though there is a no smoking policy, the hallway strongly smelled of marijuana. The rooms are nice sized and the beds are comfy. Good location. Walkable distance to many places.

Front staff was very polite and courteous. The room I got 339 stunk of pee. Like if someone mopped the floor with pee. I got the manager of the shift to come up and confirm. Since I arrived late to check in. There was no housekeeping. The next morning I let that manager know I was out of the room and if housekeeping can figure out what the smell is and clean the room. When I got back that afternoon, nothing was cleaned. And room still smelt of urine. I did however get a deodorizer to spray the room which only masked the smell and it came back. I stayed two nights. And not once was housekeeping in to clean. Checking out I did notify the staff member and they gave me a small discount.
