The hotel is no frills with a fun atmosphere—exactly what I expected for the price and location. It was loud the night I arrived and rather busy, but the room was relatively quiet. What earns this hotel four star ratings is the bed, pillows and linens, which are plush and unbelievably comfortable.

There was nothing wrong with the property except for size, I don’t ever remember being in a room and bed so small and the bathroom was even smaller. The property was really clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Size was our only problem.
