Clean hotel, nice beds, clean shower. No elevator, although only two floors. Only ding was breakfast. Lots of people, no place to sit, probably only three tables. Food was pretty much all gone at 8am. No employees around to restock. After waiting 10 minutes we just left. Everything else was good.

Good breakfast, good price for just passing thru. I’d book again but the room could have been cleaner, the bathtub in particular and the fridge smelled terrible.

Okay for an overnight stay
It was okay, clean, check in was okay. Super friendly staff! Tv didn’t work initially, after the front desk came up and did whatever, it started.. worked okay until turning it in the morning. Then stopped working again.. Shower/tub drained super slow as did the sink. Very limited choices for the continental breakfast. Overall it was okay for a one night stay, doubt I’d stay again
