    freshly renovated, very clean. comfortable, room was nice and quiet but no coffee maker.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The room description was misleading. Showers and toilets are shared; this should have been indicated in the description. Minor things: a maid "forgot to make a room" before our arrival (which turned to be okay because the room was clean and front desk gave us sheets); the neighborhood is popular among homeless at night. On a positive side, shared amenities are clean, front desk is friendly and caring, and we got a room with a window.

    The room was clean and had two comfy beds. It was safe and secure. It was near parking and had friendly staff. The elevator was old and rickety but it worked fine.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Staff was nice and knowledgeable and the property was clean.

    The staff at Layne Hotel were the kindest. The owner greeted me by name each time I popped in and out of the lobby and I truly felt like a guest at their hotel and so well cared for by them. I found the neighborhood to be a little loud, so I would recommend anyone planning to stay here bring earplugs, but you definitely can't get better customer service than what their staff provided. The room was simple, but very clean.

    one floor (12 rooms)share one bathroom and toilet. Noise and smelly. I don't recommend it to anyone.

    Good location, it very central and had easy access to everything I wanted to do. The staff were also so lovely and very accommodating! The location is on the cusp of a bad part of the city however it’s very easy to avoid though.

    I was truly thrilled when I booked the room. It was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was so friendly and gave me tips for the area. The room was really clean as well as the facilities too. Def recommend!

    No ac. Stood outside for 10 mins before someone answered the bell.

    Upon arrival desk service was rude and not welcoming. Once checked into the room we noticed a few appliances not working/ outlets as well. We called the front desk and was told there’s nothing they can do Ridley and hanged up. Asked to speak to a manager and was denied stated nothing they can do at the time and that they can’t change our room either way because they are sold out for the night. There was a change of shift and the following person that came was a lot nicer and apologized for the inconvenience. Overall the experience there was not great. I do not recommend it. The area at night is also very active meaning a lot of homeless and noise.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    The room was quite comfortable and clean. All we needed for a night stay. We arrived early, they allowed us to go to our room sooner than the standard check-in time. The place is well-located, with easy access to restaurants, bars, and public transportation. This is not to blame the hotel itself, but the block around it is full of junkies and homeless people. It's frightening when you walk around. There are often screams coming from the street during the night. We had a problem with our toilet, which got blocked after the first usage.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    The hotel is in terrible location, hundreds of homeless people and doing drugs around, the room has bugs and dirty, dusty and just not clean at all , doesn’t have own bathroom, no AC , and pretty much a dirty and definitely not in a safe environment. They have a $250 deposit absolutely a ripoff ridiculous pricing for such horrible hotel . Don’t know how this hotel is up to code , it should be reported

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    if you plan on coming into town for vacation I have a recommend not cooking this property they do not allow gas and you have to be buzzed and every time you go or enter the property vary inconvenient I felt like I was being watched by a warden

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    The warm welcome from the same family is incredible. They are very attentive to everything you need. I highly recommend the Layne Hotel. Thank you. There was nothing I didn't like

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    I fully expected a budget hotel with no frills and that’s exactly what I got. But it was quite good value, clean, exceptionally quiet and the staff were very professional. The room was small but fine. The microwave and fridge worked well. There was no sink in the tiny tiny shared toilet—I only hope everyone went back to their rooms to wash with soap and water. But I did not like the idea of people opening the door with unwashed hands.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    It was close to where I needed to be, which was salesforce The location had a lot of degenerates around it. And there is no air conditioning in your room. To get in you literally need to go through two locked entrances, which didn’t make me feel safe, but also emphasized the amount of the degenerates around.

    Not professional at all
