This is a low budget hotel, but it's one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in, and that's comparing it to high-end hotels. My bed was ver comfortable as well.

Good location for where we were going. Close to a few restaurants. The staff was less than friendly. Staff was very rude. The room had a sewer gas leak and stunk just enough to be annoying. We only stayed one nite. And with the staff being rude, u didnt want to call and ask for another room. I was too tired. Do not recommend.

We found the room to be pretty old, but very up to date in plumbing and lighting fixtures. The mattress is 2 star standard, but overall I would say not bad and would happily stay there again. Both the occasional chair and the desk chair were very comfortable.

Too much noise and gaming

The front desk clerks were very friendly. We were in room 112 on January 9th and my bed only had 2 pillows which seemed flatter than usual, so it was difficult for me to get comfortable. The worst part was being next door to some young guys playing video games all night, so we couldn't get to sleep until after 1 am, because they were very noisy.

Great place to stay

I have stayed at this hotel a few times now for work and I can’t speak highly enough. From management to the actual room, I have nothing but great experiences. My only regret is that I didn’t stay here sooner! Highly recommend!
