Overall not Impressed
The fridge was very noisy and the floor was missing wood panels. I really think this should be repaired and room shouldn’t be rented out in this condition. The room was clean however the service lady did not not any coffee the 2nd day. Stayed 2 nights.

Clean room for good price
Good room for good price. Clean and comfy for a short stay. The woman at the front desk was friendly. Bathroom clean, bed clean as well as the rest of the room.
Maybe the air needed to be refreshed a bit but that's it. We are happy.

The room was spacious and comfortable .
I couldn’t open the window and AC was very noisy .
The room was stuffy and I wasn’t able to set the AC temperature at the lower level.

No one for check in?
Great location, next to a restaurant. Arrived for check in with a sign saying “back in 5 min”! After driving 10 hours I didn’t appreciate it. Asked the reception about the restaurant next door, what time do they closed. She replied she had no Idea????
