Acceptable Stay

helpful staffconvenient locationappropriate ratelow cleanlinessworn furnitureslow hot water
The staff was helpful . I found the location convenient (easy access to transportation). The rate seemed appropriate for what was offered.
The cleanliness was noticeably below par. I noticed areas needing attention. The furniture was quite worn. It could use some updating (perhaps a refresh). The hot water took a while to come through.
