Our room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. I loved that they did not have any carpeting in the room.

I realize this is an extended stay but its pretty run down and furnishings are not very nice. Not even a comfortable chair to sit in. I stayed a month at this location about 10 years ago and it was much nicer back than.

I was only here for a very short stay, the staff is friendly enough, and I just got back from a Halloween wedding. I checked in late when I got here and I have to leave very early for a funeral. I walked in and there was a cockroach crawling over my dress for tomorrow. I'm going to check for bed bugs too, and make sure I don't have any more cockroaches in my bags so I don't bring anything home with me. The second floor kind of smells like weed too. So I would definitely give this place only a star. We also have to take our own trash with us, isn't that is what I pay them for? This place is kind of low class and grossed me out so I won't be staying here again. I also left early. I would go ahead and just spring for a better hotel and not stay here.

I went to this hotel and found the lobby shutter closed at 6PM, call the guy and he provided a room which was not ready, dirty, smelled every where. I decided not to stay as I did not feel safe and left the Hotel.

The bed linens didn't appear to be very clean. There is a distinct smell of cigarette smoke in the building. The person above me sounded like they were walking around and sliding furniture all night.
