“Ashley Hotel has an excellent location with onsite parking and breakfast; however, the rooms need some work, and cleanliness is an issue. I noted that some visitors had issues with the bathroom and the rooms being stuffy due to windows that could not be opened. For a budget option, it's acceptable, but not without some drawbacks.”
