Guests next door were speaking using profanity all night and we could hear everything. Also be aware that hotel requires 200$ deposit that gets returned after check out and room gets inspection. Location is good, close to everything. Kitchenette has no utensils, plates or pots. Beds a bit squishy, overall not horrible but not great either. ##### Jose Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brandon Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable and nice.
