Dingy and uncomfortable
Our room was ill-equipped with threadbare towels, no wash cloths, bath mat nor body wash. This is the only time ive stayed in a hotel that did not have an iron.
The bed was creaky and uncomfortable with three super thin pillows provided on the king bed.
I still don't understand how this hotel has good reviews.

Comfortable and affordable stay
Both people I interacted with at the front desk were very kind and helpful. I did not see an elevator anywhere, but maybe we missed it. The heat was on full blast when we entered our room even though it was 90 degrees outside which was pretty uncomfortable and frustrating at first, however the room cooled down quickly with the AC. Each bed only had two pillows and they were small and flat so be sure to bring your own. The free breakfast was tasty and the room was clean and generally comfortable, overall this was a good experience for the price.
