The hotel and room were clean and nicely done. Breakfast was adequate. My only complaint was the room was extremely hot when I arrived. AC was off. I arrived around 9pm and it was difficult to get the room cooled down to a decent sleeping temperature. If the rooms could be left at a temp around 75F it wouldn't take so long to get it cooled off. I would stay here again. It was a good value for the price.

Everything was clean, convienient* and completely suited to our means. *Not your problem, but why can't they make a tv remote that doesn't require an entire visit to figure out how to use it?

I booked our room for 2 days and they said no it just 1 day and charged me 15.00 more than the booked price. And then charge me 10.00 .ore than the 1st night. Most dishonest hotel I've ever delt with. I'll never stay there again. BE AWARE
