Travelers: Mom and 12yr old child. The lobby looks much nicer in photos than it does in person. It’s not bad, but the pictures make it seem larger and more upscale than it actually is. We stayed in a single room with a private bath. The room had a bit of an odd odor—likely a mix of an older building and cleaning products. The bed was a bunk (twin over full), which was unexpected; based on the photos, I thought it would be just a full-size bed. It was too squeaky With someone on top bunk. I also wish we could’ve used the stairs instead of the elevator to get from the lobby to the third floor (personal preference to take stairs). That said, I’m glad we were on the third floor, since the second floor sits above a cigar bar. Most of the guests seemed to be 40+yrs, mellow and respectful of space. Overall, despite a few quirks, we enjoyed our stay. We slept well, felt completely safe, appreciated the elaborate artwork, and loved having a mini fridge in the room. We were also very grateful for such an affordable option during a busy weekend. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tselmen Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities very friendly staff! ##### Tselmen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xavier Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A nice convenient stay with fun activities inside ##### Xavier Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Location- Super Clean - Friendly staff.
