The clerk was new si it to about 30 minutes for her to check us in. The place is being renovated so dust was everywhere. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The heat was great and the shower was on point. We just needed a place to rest our head.

Roomy, clean, freshly painted. Comfortable bed, nice size freezer compartment in mini fridge. No cable TV or blow dryer. But good value for the price.
