My family was happy with the space of the room for the price point we booked with. Our room was satisfactory in cleanliness. The employees are helpful when you need assistance or have questions, but otherwise, they afford guests privacy, which is important to my family. Thank you OYO Hotel for being a safe place for my family to rest our heads.

The room was clean, the staff kind and super helpful. Yes the building is dated but it's in a great location for what we wanted. Being off the main road was nice. I could let the kids walk without fear of busy roads. The only negative is the poor elevator kept breaking down. With 2 small kids to carry up and down stairs with our luggage it kind of sucked. Breakfast was good. The coffee was intense. If you want a killer strong cup this is the place. Overall worth it. We will be back.

1 night stay. Friendly, helpful staff. The room was well kept, and we loved the mini fridge! The restroom had 2 sinks and a mirror that made it convenient for 2 ladies trying to get ready for a concert. The massage head in the shower was great for after the concert!! They use a bunch of small throw pillows on the bed, I thought it odd. ( The next day we found regular pillows and extra blankets in a drawer.) Before checking out we put on our suits for a hot tub visit and was disappointed to see the color of the water not right...we took pictures standing by it for souvenirs, but didn't enter. Still, all in all, it was a nice stay.

I have been traveling for work for 3 weeks, and have previously been staying at a different hotel. It does not even compare to Guesthouse! The front desk attendant, Jennifer, was so personable and friendly and made me feel very at home. The room is simple, but clean, and has everything i need. I will definitely be staying here again!

My room was clean and comfortable, the staff has been awesome and friendly. Even though they have some remodeling going on they have kept the noise to a minimum and the work spaces tidy. They have been very accommodating! Thank you

The hotel itself has some room for improvement, which they are actively working on. The construction wasn’t great to look at but the noise really wasn’t overwhelming and the construction site is clean. We stayed in 2 different jacuzzi rooms during our time here and spent a total of 4 nights. We had a minor issue with our room which management quickly resolved. All the staff were amazing. Rooms are older, cable is basic. Nothing fancy but a great tucked away space for a short stay.

Pretty neat hotel. We rented the family suite. So having the bunk beds in another room was nice. The kids used the pool every day we were here. The only thing I didn't like was we asked for a late check out due to food poisoning I had the night before and was still feeling pretty sick. They granted it but told me it was going to be an additional $20 fee.

Stayed here for a night. The Hotel is in a very quiet neighborhood. The check-in process was very smooth. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Their WiFi actually works! The room was spacious and clean. This place deserves a 5/5
