Not what it seems.
I booked a room hoping to get at least a mini fridge, and a microwave, and was informed that I actually got the only room that didn’t have that. There was no cable or TV services, even tho there was a TV in the room. The floors were painfully cold and I couldn’t walk on the floor without slipper or shoes on. It was overall an underwhelming and disappointing experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Total regret on staying here. Unit was dirty and unsafe. Floors were dirty. All counters and table was not wiped down and the dishwasher had dirty dishes and food. There were a couple large stains on bedspread. The kicker was mouse droppings on the kitchen. That and exposed electrical outlet and no smoke alarm for a unit that had a stove. A terrible combination of dirty and uninhabitable. Would not recommend.

This is a great place to stay druing the winter. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They are available around the clock. Great price. Its a basic room, so if you are on a budget i recommend coming here. The down side is how bright the lights are outside. Other than that its a great place
