Excellent place to stay if you are in Merrick
Pablo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the location, the price, and the helpful staff- you can't beat it!
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great customer service but bad smell
The front desk person was very polite and super nice but the smell was uncomfortable, as soon as we walked into the building it smelled like Marijuana and then our room did as well. I know nothing can be done about guests smoking but it was still unpleasant specially since we were going to a family event and had that odor on us.

Glenda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty, Staff was insulting and also charged extra fees.
JASPAUL, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.
Thomas, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never stay here
Ajay, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property was clean, but rooms were a bit run down. AC/Heat was not working properly and was obnoxiously loud when used. There was no water pressure. Staff was asked not to disturb and the knocking on the door started at 10am on a 3 day stay.
Michael, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.
Diane, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.
Angela, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Please don’t stay there even for free
artem, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is a really really rough area.
Connor, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

If you can stay away from this property please do. First off the tub looked very filthy. The toilet bowl looks very disgusting with yellow stains inside of it. The sheet had a burnt hole on it. The pictures must be at least 15 years old. Room number 105 did not look anything like the picture.

2/10 Poor

I don't have any nice words or pictures to describe my stay. Oh wait. One nice thing. 7-eleven was next door
Alisha, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

People are rude and the place had bugs which made me uncomfortable.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The conditions were atrocious and the staff was rude and not helpful at all.
Davey, 13-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was heavily lived in. More of a low rent apartment. Sheets, towels, all stained. Still had last persons hand towel in the shower. Every wall had marks/ damages. Not worth $200 plus per night. Would expect for $60 a night
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ok
Milton, 1-night trip

This place is a dump. The staff is unpleasant and they don’t allow anything including sitting in the lobby.
James, 1-night trip

Tyrone, 1-night trip
