The room is a bit crowded, but overall it is economical. The bathroom is shared, which will affect your sleep at night. The floor is not cleaned every day and there is a lot of hair. Breakfast is a buffet, you can make it yourself, which is relatively free. The price is relatively reasonable and it is a good choice for short-term travel!

Such a cool stay, I traveled solo for a show and had an extra day off so for the price it was perfect. I was able to do laundry and store my belongings. They also offered bikes for transportation, very nice stay def would stay again!

I enjoy meeting the international visitors and the nearby pizza shop. I also enjoy the short distance to the COTA Bus Stops.

Perfect property to stay at when you’re attending something held at the stadium. The ease of checking in whenever we wanted to after 3pm was a life saver. Property is clean and well maintained with friendly staff and wonderful amenities. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future!

Property wasnt bad at all! Definitely wasnt expecting what i walked into definitely not worth $100 for a one night stay. Room was very nice but super small which wasnt really listed on the listing, ended up using the hot tub and just going home.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all my needs were met and that my stay was as smooth as possible. The facilities were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect balance of community and privacy. Whether it was offering great local tips, adjusting to my schedule, or simply checking in to make sure I was happy, their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their guests. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel at home while traveling, this is it. I’ll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
