There were very few reviews of this property that I could find, and those that I could find were equally weighted from bad to good. I was initially put off, but because the rates were good ($70/night on a government discount plan) I took the chance and booked my two-night stay.

My first concern was with bed bugs. I recently heard that they have been making a comeback in US hotels, and there was mention of them in another review of this hotel on this website. Good news for me, there were no bed bugs.

I booked a non-smoking room with a king sized bed. There was always an odor that I could smell each time I entered the room but would disappear as I got used to it. That smell makes me suspect it was previously a smoking room (or the previous guest had smoked heavily in the room) and the staff tried to get out the smell with those scented fabric sprays. However, the bedding (not including the top comforter) smelled and felt clean. No complaints there.

Apart from that initial whiff, the room I got was as described. All major appliances were in satisfactory working order. I can't comment on the cofee maker or iron; I never used them. The room was missing the remote control for the television, but as luck would have it, I noticed the adjacent room was being cleaned when I first got to the room. I just told the chambermaid the problem and voila, she produced a remote that worked!

The bathroom was clean and smelled clean. The towels weren't the big, fluffy ones, but instead were the thin seemingly threadbare ones, which are to be expected in this type of establishment. While the water pressure could have been better, I never felt I was getting a substandard bath. (You might think that's an odd statement, but I've taken showers with such low water pressure and such soft water that it's taken me three times as long to wash off, and still I felt soapy).

The view out the window was of another building and most prominently their dumpsters overflowing with trash. I kept the heavy drapes closed. The room was fairly well-isolated from outside noises.

I was here for literally two-nights between 10:30 PM to 7 AM, pretty much to bathe and sleep, so I can't comment on the other property amenities nor the continental breakfast. Parking seemed ample and not a problem. All in all, a good value for the money if all you need is a place to rest at the end of the day.
