I enjoyed my visit, but it really would be nice if they would vacuum the carpet on the outside every day it shows dirt and really looks unclaimed

Room was clean and check in was easy. The room did smell of smoke which was unfortunate. The breakfast is a voucher for 2 at a diner a block away.

This day was nice. The only recommendation I could make is that they vacuum the carpet on the outside every day and in the elevator, it would make it look so much better.

Pet friendly hotel next to train tracks
The room and staff were both really good. Very pet friendly! It would have been nice to know that the hotel is located right next to train tracks and the train runs almost constantly.

Good value
This isn’t a fancy place, but for the price it’s a good value. The rooms are clean, beds are decent, staff are super friendly and the room comes with free breakfast. I have stayed here multiple times on quick trips and it’s always been a pleasant stay.
