6/10 Good

Motel s run down and does not give a good impression when you see it. Room was basic but clean. Area felt safe but nothing nearby to eat or even a coffee place unless you have a car. But price affordable so probably a case of “you get what you pay for” If you just want a place to sleep and get a shower it’s ok

The room was small, but very comfortable and perfect for my husband and i on our visit to see his childhood friend that lives in the area. Owners were very friendly and even gave us plastic silverware when our DoorDash forgot to send it. Very nice coffeehouse within walking distance as well.

Thank You!

Room was SPOTLESS and well-appointed, although I recommend having facial tissues available. Check-in was efficient and courteous, even though it was a late arrival time. Trickiest issue is finding the way into the property (the city's problem, not the owners').

Nice, undergoing construction but clean rooms, even if a little run-down. Nice staff, friendly and right next to the metro
Giulia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean but small. Only 1 chair (not very comfortable) in a room with a king-size bed makes it not very inviting in the daytime. Needs another chair. No hand soap at the sink. No hair dryer. No place to hang coats or other garments. Hard to find the spot to access hot water in the shower. Bed needed heavier blanket. About as basic as accommodations get. But the staff was friendly and helpful.
