I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was quite clean, spacious, and comfortable, making my stay pleasant. However, the breakfast options were disappointing, and the facilities were lacking. While the price was affordable, I rated the amenities lower due to missing basics like a pool and some maintenance issues.

The hotel offered a budget-friendly option with some clean and comfortable aspects, but it certainly needs improvements. My room was spacious and had more TV channels than I expected, which was a nice surprise. The breakfast provided decent choices, but the overall condition of the hotel was less than ideal, especially with cleanliness and maintenance issues evident. However, for the price I paid, it served its purpose for a quick stay.

My stay at this hotel was quite the rollercoaster. While the low price initially seemed appealing, the reality was disappointing due to poor maintenance and issues with cleanliness. On the bright side, the manager tried hard to make things right, which I appreciated. However, the numerous problems, including broken amenities and a lack of cleanliness, overshadowed my overall experience.

The first room was poorly maintained with a slanted floor and a broken air conditioning unit. After moving, the second room was cleaner, but it still had issues like cigarette burns in the bathtub and a non-functioning toilet.

I had a really disappointing experience at this hotel. The parking lot was full of potholes and looked unkempt, and while the room itself was clean, it felt cramped and the light from outside was incredibly annoying, forcing us to block it with blankets. On top of that, the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all during our stay. The front office staff were friendly, but overall, I’d recommend looking for another place to stay.

My stay at this hotel was quite mixed. The manager was very attentive and did his best to resolve our issues, but we had several room problems, including cleanliness and maintenance issues. While the final room was comfortable and in better shape, the overall experience left much to be desired. I appreciate the compensation offered, but I doubt I'll return due to the hassle we encountered.

We ended up in three different rooms during our stay. While the last room was clean and comfortable, the first two had significant issues, including a slanted floor and a malfunctioning air conditioning unit.
