Great deal for the price of the stay. Surrounding area is a bit sketchy, which is not a fault of the management of course. However, tv and thermostat were not working but I would still recommend this location because of the cost and friendly staff.

Had a great stay. The room was clean and the staff was helpful. We ate at GUSTO next door. Delicious pizza and drinks. Very convenient. Breakfast options of McDonalds or Starbucks are very close by.
