Price was our reason for choosing this hotel. Parking was plentiful and free. . No elevator to second floor, which was a bit of an issue for one of us, and tiled stairway was slippery. Rooms were clean and comfortable. AC worked great on a hot summer day! Towels and sheets were worn, but clean. This hotel is a good choice for a basic stay, if you don't expect luxury amenities.

The beds were comfortable and the room reasonably clean, but lacking. The facility needs an update as the carpet is worn and faded. A general refresh would lift this facility up to a more appealing destination. It was okay for a one night stay, but not great.

The property looked a little tired.The place was clean and people were nice, but rugs needed replacing, water pressure was minimal at best, and we were surprised to not have any eggs w/ bacon or sausage at breakfast. Oatmeal, yogurt dispenser (which was out on 1 day, but working fine the next), and muffins or bagels. The was a waffle maker. We got what we paid for, but wish we had better showers...

I don’t normally leave negative feedback but if you have allergies, don’t stay here. Def out dated, rooms smell moldy and musty. No ventilation in the bathroom…The pool was ice cold so we couldn’t utilize it. Yes it’s cheap and close to everything but I would plan elsewhere next time. Oh other than that, yea the staff was great (lol minus the guy always in the office on his phone. Had to ring the bell a couple times), convenient to things. Cheap.

Clean and safe if worn down. The building is showing its age from the cracked rubber on the stairs dum lighting everywhere and walls that need painting. The bathroom door hit the toilet so it didn't open all the way. The ice machine was broken and it had the worst coffee I have had in a long time, from machine not made. The breakfast was typical and the yogurt machine looked interesting though finding bowls was difficult. You get what you pay for safe, clean and serviceable. Too bad no work out area
