    Manish the owner does a Great job. Very understandable too

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean and had towels and wash cloths and one hand towel. But there was no tissue boxes. It was also advertised as free breakfast and ice machine. This was actually located in the Super 8 a block down from the hotel. The outside grounds had cigarette butts everywhere as well. Very disappointing.

    Again, I do not know which rooms these other people stayed in, but it certainly wasn't mine. Pick a different hotel.

    Everything was perfect 👌

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    There were cockroaches in the room, large ones. The room was very dirty outside of that, with stains on the sheets & counters

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Office staff was excellent, respectful, honest, and helpful. The parking lot was clean and had plenty of handicapped parking. Our room had clean towels and fresh sheets, but the floor was a little dirty. Overall, it was perfect, and we will definitely return.
