“Worth the $ just for the tub”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2007

The double jacuzzi tubs at this hotel are great! These are the reason
that I've stayed here multiple times, despite other aggravations.

The folks at the desk are nice, the fresh cookies are a nice touch, and the breakfast is varied and not half bad. (Can't speak for the dinners - haven't stayed on a weeknight.)

The criticisms voiced by other reviewers are also true: the hotel is unevenly maintained, the cleanliness of upholstery/carpets/curtains is only so-so, and the housekeeping staff is incredibly noisy starting at around 10AM (and will start knocking on your door half an hour before checkout time to see if you're leaving yet).

It's quite possible to get what you pay for, at least, here; all it takes is the willingness to check out the room you're given and ask for a better one if you get one of the rooms with a ridiculously soft
bed, missing furniture, broken fridge or coffee maker, or whatever. On the whole, the rooms in the back seem to be the best bet; they tend to have more/better furniture, and things are less worn out. I think they give out the rooms in the front first, perhaps to improve the appearance of high occupancy from the street? The front rooms right next to the elevators are in the worst shape, and they always seem to offer these first. The desk staff are unsurprised and accommodating when the deficits of various rooms are pointed out. Just persist until you get a room you like, and you can expect a pleasant stay that's well worth the money.

“good deal for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2006

This is a 2 star Inn, don't expect more and you won't be disappointed. But where else do you find breakfast AND dinner on weekdays. No, they are not gourmet meals. They are actually rather plain. But there is plenty of food, and it will go a long way if you are on a budget.

The room was large and clean with fridge, microwave, sink, and paper dishes. It had a coffee maker and a blow dryer too. AND a large jacuzzi tub. My wireless internet worked first time.. no problem. The TV had adequate channels. Staff was helpful and friendly.

The only strange smells in my room were the dinner smells wafting up the elevator shaft (my room was next to the elevator) and yes, some of the clientele did not seem to be business types, but this is a budget motel that provides 2 meals a day on weekdays at a cutrate price..you're going to get the type of people who are on a budget.

“Hotel Needs Work”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2006
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed at this hotel on a long-term basis (our client had a small budget), instead of your typical Sheraton or Marriott.

The hotel is fine if you're not picky, but don't expect great customer service. The rooms are clean, but they have a funny smell. In addition, I didn't feel safe at times because of the people that I saw wondering the halls.

The free breakfast buffet is OK, but you're better off grabbing a coffee and muffin at the local Starbucks. I had the dinner a couple of times and there was not much of a selection, so don't plan on making it your meal.

“It was OK”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2006

For the price ($55.00), the hotel is decent (better than some of the other low-budget hotels in the area), but I would not recommend it for long-term use. The rooms are comfortable and ample, but there are very unpleasant odors in some of the rooms and in the hallways.

There are some very strange characters that stay in this hotel (not your typical tourists our business folks). In addition, the customer service is pretty mediocre (with the exception of a few extremely helpful employees).

And yes, one time, I gave them my laundry in the morning (before 8 AM) for same-day service, but I did not receive it until three days later. I had to bug the front desk personnel on a daily basis to figure out what had happened to my laundry.

The hallways get pretty loud during the day (housekeeping personnel cleaning rooms make a lot of noise), so it's kind of hard to rest.

“Awesome Hotel!”

We stayed at this hotel and were very impressed! Great people who work at the hotel! It is a bargain for the area it is in, a hidden secret!

There is a great breakfast buffet included and our room had a Jacuzzi, all for $69.00 per night.

I would highly recommend this hotel!
