Room was clean, bed was very comfortable. The room I selected was supposed to have a couch but did not. Only place to sit was a desk chair that would lean back too far unless you pushed it up against the wall. Otherwise, comfortable, clean room for the night.

I was quite pleased with my one night stay. Check in was easy; front desk person was helpful and friendly. Our room was great with a huge, comfortable bed. I recommend this place at the reasonable price I paid. I'll be staying again.

Clean hotel, nice beds, clean shower. No elevator, although only two floors. Only ding was breakfast. Lots of people, no place to sit, probably only three tables. Food was pretty much all gone at 8am. No employees around to restock. After waiting 10 minutes we just left. Everything else was good.

Good breakfast, good price for just passing thru. I’d book again but the room could have been cleaner, the bathtub in particular and the fridge smelled terrible.
