Great customer service; arrived late and lady was just finishing up and was able to keep us on the first floor along with our pet (I use a walker & husband uses a can). I give it a 98 out of 100 and that was only because the toilet was very low, not good for a handicap person that cannot bend. Otherwise, it would receive a 100 since plenty of room (there were 4 adults) and nicely keep.

Basically the hotel was good. They didn’t remake the coffee in the breakfast room but the food offerings were very good. The soaps were tiny but the hot water was great. Not having Roku at my home the TV was hard to figure out. All in all I would definitely stay there again.

Econo place to stay. For those who are no frills this place is great. Checkin went smoothly even though I was early by a couple of hours (only because I had a deluxe room that was already available). You may not be so lucky. The continental breakfast was about what you expect, which is to say you shouldn't leave hungry. Overall, I would stay here again.

Booked the cheapest room just to stay the night and be on my way in the morning. The hotel was incredibly quiet despite being so close to the train tracks thanks to the cinder block walls. A clean room, comfortable bed, and a hot shower. The breakfast selection was far better than some major chain hotels. I would definitely stay again.
