This hotel was a little old and worn feeling, but the room was good. It had a comfortable bed, good wifi and the staff were friendly. The room we had (130) could have used better lighting. It was a good value value accommodation.

Room was not really clean. Traveling with a dog myself- I understand “pet rooms”… this one smelled of pet urine… and there was previous pet kibble on the floor :/ Beds were comfortable- surprisingly so. Linen was older TV Remote controlled Channel- but remarkably- not the volume. Toilet was a SUPER slow flush- (hold the handle and watch it sslloowyy flush.. ) On the plus side/ it was a quiet hotel- Not many guests. We get what we pay for.

The staff were friendly. We had a 1 queen room and it was roomy. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. It was a good location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. There was no noise from outside, so we slept well. The breakfast was your typical free breakfast: waffles, cereal, pastries, bagels, coffee, juice and boiled eggs. It was nice for the price. I deducted one star, because the refrigerator was not working. We would stay again.

This was a good place to stay as you’re traveling. An overnight, I wouldn’t stay longer. Plus, they said there was breakfast, and there wasn’t. They have a nice little nook area for breakfast, there just was no food during breakfast hours. So I had to go and buy breakfast when I got back on the road again. I make sure all my hotels serve breakfast an Expedia’s app, and they were not serving any. I guess I will be calling places to confirm this.

What I appreciated the most was a kind, caring staff. The room was ok but not top of the line. I had a warm bed, hot bath, fairly good sleep and the staff made a big difference to me in how kind and helpful they were.

The bed was comfortable and price good. Dish tv worked good. BUT the many black small hairs in the sink made me wonder if the room had been clean? I don't see how one could miss that! This am, the waffle grill was heated but there was no waffle mix? Bagels and bread were in a covered container on a table vs in the display case. Sunday must be their day off.
