Suite is Worth $100/night
Only $20 deposit. And at $100 a night you can get a suite with 2 actual rooms and a fridge with an actual freezer. Plenty of room. No grass or anything to take a dog potty.

Okay but Dirty
The hotel was alright. Good price and everything seems nice. Room service was nice too.
Our refrigerator wasn’t working though and had some old liquid (probably oil) in it. Bathroom also was a bit dirty with unexplainable stains 9n the curtain and a bit on the wall.
Blankets are thin but not an issue as long as you use the heater for cold nights.
Overall a "you get what you paid for" thing, but could use a bit of a paint job.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. However some of the customers were very rude, selfish and played music very loud and we had to request for management to request to lower the volume. The bedding was not very comfortable either.

Horrible. We couldn’t sleep all night. Loud noises especially at night. Couple fighting next door. The worst experience for my kids. Not recommended to stay if you have kids.
