Convenient easy place to stay. No frills but clean. Sometimes a little too heavy on the cleaning products. Staff couldn’t be nicer.

Loved the mini fridge that included a freezer. Only downside is the office is irregularly staffed. Bed was comfy and bathroom had a walk in shower rather than a tub, which was a major plus for me.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

Would not recommend.

My wife and I were disappointed in our stay. The man in the office was not very welcoming. The office was rather disheveled. There were all kinds of tools piled up behind the counter. Ot was just untidy. The room was meh. The mattress was very flat and in needs to be replaced. The pillows were lumpy and seemed beyond there usefulness also. When we laid in bed and looked up at the lamps above the bed they were very dusty and there were cobwebs on them. The bathroom was clean and met our expectations.
