  : Rooms were good and clean. basic no frills. Cheap. Saved money on parking which was a huge plus. The outside of the hotel was pretty poor, but the rooms looked like they were redone recently. If you just need a place to sleep, this was fine. They had a cat outside ...I love cats.
  : Really nothing. It was what I expected. Get past the look on the outside and it is fine.

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Not very far from the downtown.
  : The room had an extremely strong smell, like dozens of homeless people had lived there. After staying here for one night, my whole body and all my clothes were tainted with this strong odor. It was very noisy at night. The room was shabby, the shower head was broken, and there was no hair dryer, no water boiler. This is the dirtiest and worst place I have ever stayed.

  : Convenient location - close to arena where I was attending a concert. Inexpensive. Able to control thermostat on the heater/air conditioner - its amazing how many hotels/motels have this locked down! Able to use deadbolt lock for added security in room. Bath towels seemed a little thicker than the typical towels you get in this class of motel in my experience. Electrical outlet easy to access by bed after sliding table away from it (so many times in hotels the outlets are not convenient).
  : Clearly an older motel in need of a few updates, which I already understood from reading previous reviews and I didnt care too much as I just needed an inexpensive and convenient place to stay and didnt have much lead time in booking. Having said that I probably wouldnt stay again unless some more updates were made for a more comfortable stay. It seemed clean overall but seeing the last guests soap still in the shower caused some doubt as to the depth of cleaning. Electrical outlet plate was loose in bathroom making me not feel confident about plugging something into it so I used the outlet by the bed which wasnt loose in order to dry and style my hair, which was a little inconvenient.

  : It was acceptable for the price. Just soap, no shampoo or conditioner. Bed was comfy enough. Receptionist had a cat so that was cute!
  : Did not look the cleanest on the outside but the bedsheets and bathroom were clean, so it got the job done.

  : Lady at front desk was a delight.Very helpful and Apologized for "Young" staff not preparing room for us as instructed.
  : Floors dirty, was going to shake finger at the grandsons for dirty feet on bed linens and getting white bath floor mat dirty, till I realized mine were just as bad.Not enough towels, tissue paper and $175 a bit much, more like $80 quality. But realize going to "Lions" game has it price.
