A place to lay your head

The Hotel needs some TLC. The staff was good but they were limited with help. They definitely did their part. The hotel needs some maintenance especially in the bathroom. The maintenance looks to be done armature at best with no sense of pride or just pressured for a quick fix. The Hotel has a lot of potential.

Dirty bathroom and noise place like the neighbors from others room were inside our room. Despite we paid for three nights we decided to leave one day early and rent in another hotel just to be quiet in our mini vacations.

Im going to be straight forward- if you are looking for a Hilton style- keep looking. If you want to be right at the edge of all the hustle and bustle of town, it's a great pick. The price was great for our 4 nights.It was clean, but we did have a stained pillow case that was immediately taken care of by the front desk. It is an older building and they have done some renovations but the walls are a bit thin. Wasn't an issue for us. The water pressure is AMAZING and the hotel supplied toiletries, coffee and coffee pot, a mini fridge and a microwave. Bed was comfortable. We will definitely stay again.
