The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a little bit skimpy, but otherwise I would definately recommend this hotel!

Looks Modern, But Isn't Truely

You can definitely tell this is an older hotel that they did a quick remodel to modernize the looks, but not all of the functions of the room. There was an electrical outlet on only one side of the bed, so you couldn't charge a phone on both sides. Our toilet was the loudest thing in the world and literally shook the floor when it flushed. Shower had the same old standard terrible shower head that every hotel does. The TV and thermostat in the room had been nicely updated. Staff was super nice too. The room was just disappointing if you're looking for a more modern looking and fuctioning hotel.

A place to lay your head

The Women manager on duty was very courteous and customer oriented.” The bathroom toilet seats were cushioned and very old. The bed was new but too firm. The restroom was very tight & small. The hotel was clean. Be sure to have your room key out just in case someone’s chasing you. At night the doors are locked!
