Pros +
- The hotel is ok for a single person, on a short trip... It's clean, the staff were nice and friendly... the location is great, just what I was looking for... I needed one more night overstay and it wasn't a problem... the guy/manager was nice.
- The Hotel Staff is 1st Class!
- The location was perfect for where I needed to be and the staff / service was great .
Cons -
- The hotel was ok, but not worth the price.... no space to move around, no iron, and no breakfast,
- N/A very pleased!
- The room was clean but very small but manageable if you don?t have lots of luggage. Literally like a small bedroom with bathroom . I disliked the foul odor in the lobby and hallways it smelled like a dirty mop with bleach. Pinesol or Lysol can help !
