Overall it was good, the only thing was, that the curtains are light color and we would think at 4:00 am it was already 8:00 too bright for our likes but other than that it was great.

Stayed here for a couple days while I was traveling for work. The owner was super kind and upgraded our room. Free of charge would definitely recommend staying here.

Not very clean, kinda skanky. I'd say the emphasis is on "budget". But, check in was quick, easy, and polite, the area was quiet, the bed was firm and seemed pretty clean. OK for a quick overnight before or after crossing the border, but I will probably look elsewhere next time.

Happy with my stay
Centrally located and comfortable, just what was needed for a night.
Walking distance to restaurants and transportation.
In-room appliances were welcome.
I would stay here again

The owner of the property is sexist. From the moment we started speaking when I got to the hotel he was exceedingly rude to the point that I had to have my husband come up to the window and speak to the owner of the property he attempted to charge us for our service animals and upon my husband stating that that was illegal he then proceeded to charge us an outside fee or deposit of $25 which was stated nowhere which we ultimately paid because we were tired and wanted to get our dogs inside and getting some sleep the accommodations were nasty the surrounding area was gross

The room was better than I expected. The office was totally locked up and the check-in was done through a small window. I would stay there again if I was in the area.

That housekeeper should be fired. She put all these boxes at the back of the stairwell which was in front of the room that I was in. She doesn't rinse out the mop and mops with a dirty mop. And she kept making noise instead of taking stuff out to the dumpster it was all in front of our room. My cat was so freaked out by it that he hid under the couch every time she went down the hallway which was often. She like she was on meth or something.
