Read the google reviews before you stay here! I foolishly just saw a decent number rating on expedia and booked without looking further. The whole place is fairly run down, I had one of the partially renovated rooms so the bedroom area itself was ok, but no blanket or quilt on the bed just a super thin top sheet and none spare in the cupboard. The beds are on wheels and slide away from the wall if you try to sit up in bed. The bathroom windows are cracked and the frames are all rusted, the shower hasn't been sealed properly so its mouldy, and there isnt enough ventilation in the bathroom so it has that damp smell. There is also a lot of road noise from the highway. Its very basic and there is some interesting clientelle hanging around the place. If you want a clean and restful nights stay this isnt the place to get it.

Stayed 2 nights

This place is not fit to be on hotels.com For $163 a night it’s a disgrace, mould and broken soap holder, leaking shower head (that kept me awake all night), no shampoo, conditioner or body wash, toilet brush was full of wet toilet paper and so worn out, the bed was so uncomfortable, curtains need replacement and didn’t cover the windows so outdoor light was beaming in at night, the cutlery was from a 2nd hand shop and had broken handles, the 2 chairs were stained and had a broken window in the bathroom . The place was so run down and a disgrace. I had 2 x nights booked for work purposes and left after 1 x night. I have pics to prove all this.
