Place is clean, this is the most important thing to us. However, we purposely select hotels that do not allow pets for a variety of reasons-we are pet lovers but... The hotel did not indicate that it was pet friendly so we assumed that pets were not allowed, this was incorrect as there were a few dogs in the hotel the second time we stayed there. Again, over all clean hotel with good breakfast. Biggest complain is the beds are very hard. We have a firm bed a home which I prefer but their bed felt like sleeping on a board. Also, the first time we stayed there some of the rooms on our floor were being fumigated (or so we assume) as the outer doors were taped down to the ceiling and floor in plastic so I am glad they stay of top of whatever needs to be addressed. We alway check for bed bugs no matter where we stay. We may not stay there again not because of any overall concerns just simply because the bed was so hard it kicked in my back pain.

The room was very clean and we loved how big the bathroom was. It would have been nice to have a adjustable shower head but it had decent water pressure. The linen smelled clean but the bed was very hard. We would recommend this place just for the cleanliness and staff friendliness.

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!
