For the price you get a clean place, comfortable bed, adequate bathroom, and a mini fridge and A/C that works. Very basic, with which I was satisfied.

Joanna

Liked: Staff & service
Location was walking distance to fairgrounds. There is a microwave and fridge in room. Shower was clean and water pressure great!! No ice machine on premises. Bed not comfortable. 2 pillows, sheets and a bedspread (no blanket). A/c worked but was held together with tape (literally). Parking included so that’s a bonus. Priced right for what you get.
