Good value compared to other places available. Came for a weekend wedding. Room was clean. Very dates in terms of decor. Bed was decently comfortable. Water pressure in shower was great. Not enough plugs in room, for example the frig, blow dryer, microwave and coffee pot all competed for a 2 plug outlet

Friendly staff and met needs of offering cold water upon check in and extra pillows when requested. The bed was comfortable and hotel was quiet at night even though sold out for a busy holiday weekend. The room and bathroom was clean but does need some modernization.
