Good enough!
Listen, this isn't gonna be the fanciest hotel you ever stay at...but if you need a fairly cheap hotel for a quick stay, this one is just fine. Staff was friendly enough, it was clean enough, and felt safe enough. Breakfast was decent as well!

Comfortable and Clean
4 out of 5 only because the hot food was already cleaned up and put away 10 minutes early. Please give the staff instruction to leave it out until 10am since thats what guests are told. I paid a bit more to stay here because breakfast was imcluded. Loved how clean everything was though and all the staff was very friendly.

Unacceptable stay.
The check-in took 15 minutes and I was the only one at the desk. Nice young man working; however, he didn't know what he was doing. The room--one bathroom light was burned out; another was blinking (going out). The room smoke detector on the ceiling was taped up. The worst thing was the humidity in the room. EVERYTHING was damp. The towels in the bathroom never dried at all. Our clothes were damp. We kept the AC at 72 degrees with the fan going all the time. We stayed on the first floor; the windows were not open.
