So-so stay. A place to sleep.

For the most part, it clean and comfortable. Regarding the free breakfast… for a 7 day stay, I found it available 3 days. Two days with no coffee. Even in the room when they cleaned it it was not restocked with coffee. Located nicely near a Perkins and McDonald’s, Target all with in walking distance.

Nice room, not hot water

The web description says that they offer breakfast, but that is false. I checked 2 days, and basically nothing there. Room was recently renovated and clean. Sink had hot water, but shower had very low water volume, and was about half cold and half hot, so taking a shower was uncomfortable and I did it as quickly as possible to avoid shivering.

Met expections for the price

The room was clean but laced basic amenities like cups in the room or an alarm clock. I was staying by myself and the room met my expectations for the price. The room was noisy as it was only a sidewalk distance away from a busy street.
