Everything was clean...staff wonderful...bed, not so comfy... but I prefer a softer matress. Continental breakfast was very simple... nothing prepared, just pop tarts, cereal, bagels, fruit and coffee.

It was a quick stay. Online said they were queen beds and I’m pretty sure they were only full. Bathroom was very small. It was an okay stay.

cute rooms. the fridge had someone’s leftovers in it. but they did apologize and offered to clean it. I broke a Lava lamp- and that cost $30 they need to secure them as they are easy to knock over and break. overall clean room, front desk staff was very friendly.

This hotel was in a great location, close to everything. The only reason I took a star off is because the first room we were put in had dead bugs all over the floor… (there was a gap in the door that allowed for bugs/debris to get in). They quickly moved us to a new room that was much cleaner, thankfully. Their customer service made up for this shortcoming- they were friendly and prompt and seemed to truly want us to enjoy our stay/leave with a pleasant experience. The owner even called me once I had left to apologize for an issue I had with the room key card. I recommend this hotel if you are looking for a simple, well priced hotel that is near everything.
