Congratulations on your win.

Looks like an inexpensive stay and hopefully this property will meet your needs. No need to worry about the 'weekly cleaning' service when you're only staying one nite :)

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

So what does one get for $28?

A clean non-smoking room that doesn't smell of smoke

a clean bathroom with a good water pressure in the shower/tub combination, a good supply of towels, soap but no shampoo or conditioner

a kitchenette with dishes, cutlery, fridge( can be turned off if noise is a problem), microwave, toaster, 2 hotplates, dish soap

TV with 23 channels, clock-radio, iron and ironing board

helpful staff with no apparent negative attitude because of an inexpensive booking made through Priceline

negligible sounds from adjacent rooms or the hallway

a reasonable "family restaurant" Mitzel's (currently rated 4 of 109 at Tripadvisor for KENT) and a Burger King, both a 5 minute walk away.

The negatives:

a faint smell of perfume which required some airing out of the room

constant hum of traffic from the adjacent freeway, even near the opposite end of the building on the second floor which is shielded by some trees preventing the highway from being seen. Light sleepers should bring earplugs, but at a cost of $28, that doesn't seem too much to ask
