We chose this property because it was close to the wedding venue we attended. It was convenient to shopping and food. The room was clean but the beds were not comfortable. We only stayed one night so it was ok.

One nighter

We think its a workers hotel. When we arrived there was alot of young men just hanging around the parking lot and on the upper level. The room was spacious and fairly clean. The bed and pillows were great. Very small area and selection for breakfast. However for the price it is definitely worth staying there.

When do you put a coffee maker in the bathroom?????? Nasty and unsanitary. Ther was plenty of space available thru out the room for the coffee maker. Alot of space in the room looked wasted. This room was more for someone staying for longer periods of time.
