Enjoyed my stay, the only inconvenience was the key machine was broke and so we didn't have a key to go in and out. So we had to prop our door open while we went out to eat. Kind of scary to think someone might take out stuff. But overall the room was nice and clean. There is $200 deposit, but as long as you dont mess up the room you get it back.

Smells
We were in town for a family event. We arrived 930 at night to walk into the lobby with the smell of over cooked curry. It was so overwhelming it made my eyes tear up. We still checked in. Went to our room and it smelled up there also. The next morning we still smelled lingering odors.
