"The hotel room was clean and in great condition, and it had all the amenities we wanted. However, the people next door were loud until after midnight. The front desk clerk was rude when I called to complain, and nothing was done about it. Not a pleasant experience.2018-05-20"

"This hotel met and exceeded my expectations. Great room and an excellent value.2015-09-10"
"The bathroom door was rusty, the fan sounded like an airplane, and the sink didn't drain. The electrical outlet by the sink didn't hold the plug for my hair dryer. The bottled water in the room cost $3.50. When we told the front desk about the problems, they said they'd tell the manager, and didn't even apologize. Stay at another hotel.2015-02-22"
