We booked this place one week in advance of a Saturday night stay compared to prices plus or -5 miles , this is a good value for the price @ $ 150 with taxes - the room is nothing fancy, but adequate equipped with a king size bed a small clean microwave a clean refrigerator a nice flatscreen TV with Comcast cable - most important all the bed linens and bath towels were crispy clean we pulled them back and the mattresses are clean - we didn’t have any disturbances and slept pretty good. The room did its job for us.

Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.
