Great place to stay in, has plenty of places to go get something to eat around the area and really close. The room was absolutely clean, the bed was very comfortable, the pillows was very soft, great to sleep with, you have enough pillows on the bed.

The floor needs to be mopped and needs a plastic shower curtain to keep the water in the shower. And found a cockroach 🪳 in the room but there was only one that I have seen.

The rooms were nicely decorated and clean. However they are doing updates so not everything is finished. The staff was amazing. Very friendly and helpful.

The location was convenient but a little rough around the edges.

Staff was very polite & friendly. Beds were very comfortable & shower had great water pressure and temperature. TV included pay stations like HBO.

The property is older so I could use a little updating (painting chipped/peeling surfaces, etc). Property is next to an apartment complex with dogs that barked a lot, but couldn't hear them from the room.

The room was very clean and the best mattress I've ever slept on. The owner Mike was excellent and gave us great customer service. It's not a five star hotel but it was perfect for what we needed.

I booked this room at Northgate last minute after a disastrous experience at another hotel the previous night, and Northgate was much better! The room here was clean and it's only a 20-minute drive to downtown.

The hairdryer didn't work (out of power?) but otherwise there was no problem.

Furniture was old and run down. Bed was too soft and the sheet was too small. There was a chair in the corner that was stained with paint and full of holes. Chair needs to go to the trash!
