The rooms are clean and well maintained. It also has a balcony, which is awesome. Some of the rooms do have flaws so check the room before checking in. The staff is pretty friendly and good customer service. Good vibes here.

Arrive at 4:00 am and the toilet was broken, The desk clerk was extremely helpful and courteous and moved us to another room immediately. We inquired about late check out on our final day and the daytime staff was very pleasant to work with. Staff at this location understands hospitality and taking care of their guest.

Dirty room with roaches. Shower had a million coats of paint which made it sticky. Tub and toilet had years of stains. Random door that leads to another room that you can't lock. Front door gets jammed so you have to body slam it to get into your room. Sliding door that leads to open grass with overgrown weeds where you have access to other people's doors. The wifi didn't work and I had to use my phone's Hotspot to watch the TV. The only thing that worked properly was the A/C and the bed was comfortable. Pet friendly. Staff was great and very helpful.

Roaches EVERYWHERE, slimey walls, mold, broken door handles, AC doesn't work, beds are broken and swallow you like a taco, heavy urine smell, can't see TVs while laying in the beds, NO couches. Rooms look NOTHING like the photos. Staff is friendly and all BUT the fact they even give you room keys to these flop house rooms without so much as a warning, is insane. I wouldn't make my worst enemy stay here!!

The outside of this property is in desperate need of an update. I was really nervous until I opened my door. Beautiful new flooring, brand new mattress and counters. Large spacious room. You have to check in at Clarion Pointe which is on other side of parking lot. Breakfast is served at Clarion Pointe as well. Staff is incredible and kind.

There’s definitely roaches, seen multiple in my room but they were squished. The breakfast is literally like waffles, toast, bagels cereal. Nothing crazy. The staff is super helpful though so that was a plus. Probably won’t stay here again

Do not recommend for family stay

Initial thoughts were there are no windows, the room was super hot, the sliding door to the back of building was unlocked which felt unsafe. My daughter went to use the restroom and lost it when she saw a couple roaches in the tub.

The location of the hotel was perfect. Unfortunately our room wasn’t. The cleanliness was good, other than the floor being dirty. The bathroom could use some maintenance, one of the beds was broken (sunken in the middle), there were roaches (not a lot) and our keycards kept locking us out. The staff was amazing though.

They only cleaned once on our stay, and not well either. Most of the outlets in our place didnt work. The door to the bathroom door didnt close. The shower will either give you really hot or really cold water. The people at the front desk were helpful and nice, and the breakfast was almost always stocked.

We arrived checked in with hesitation and went to our room. The door had space top and bottom, the bathroom was filthy, the room smelled of mold. The kitchenette was cracked the only sink is right inside the open door. We didn't stay and demanded a refund. The person at the front desk was apologetic and very friendly, but we couldn't stay.
