Definitely an older property but the friendliness of the staff and the support to the new Navy sailors was top notch. Beds are definitely smaller than a queen but it was cold enough to enjoy a snuggle with the wife. Distance to and from the Navy graduation was perfect.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cleaning fumes were horrible! Caused us to have lung reactions and tightness. No lights to enter the room. Pitch black and had to find a light switch on the opposite side of the room! We only stayed for 15 mins as our lung reaction to the fumes were overwhelming. The area was awful. Not a safe area.

Nice, helpful staff, inexpensive and not far from downtown. On the downside - no elevator, vending machines only take $1 bills and no other amenities.

The beds wers terrible, they were the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever slept on. They are covered with plastic making them so noisy. The website said 'pet friendly' but when we checked in we were directed to a room that was next to a noisy street. And were told that by the front desk that was their preferred pet room. Im pretty sure i have athlete foot now and I was wearing rubbers shoes, so the tub must carry fungus. The shower was designed for someone under 5 feet tall. Free breakfast was a room temperature yogurt, old looking fruit and a prepackaged muffin. The coffee cup was like 6 oz so that was lame. It was not enjoyable at all.

Buena localización, trato de personal en counter, estacionamiento, precio, apariencia en general fue buenísima. Lo único que no me gustó fue pedir habitación para no fumadores y tenía un olor un poco desagradable. Pero por todo lo demás estuvo excelente. La habitación estaba bien bonita. El hotel estaba localizado cerca del área que yo necesitaba.
