Nice rooms very cozy and affordable.

This property is very nice for the money . I definitely recommend staying here . It’s quiet , safe , clean and the rooms have been renovated and it’s very cozy . The price sometimes goes up but , just keep an eye ams it drops which then makes it very worth it .

Property is older and in the process of being renovated. Our room was newly renovated, but was furnished with old furniture. While the standard room was small, it had all the essentials and everything in the room worked as it should. The daily breakfast served in the office included sausage, egg whites, tater tots, toast, mini muffins, and yogurt. Not a lot of choices here, but it was okay. They had great coffee in the office.

Nice quick stop spot. Beds were comfortable and the space was clean. Staff was polite. Breakfast offered warm as well as cold options: waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausages, taters, cereal, toast, coffee and hot water with filtered water dispenser. Shower dispensers were pretty awesome, dispensing pretty good quality shampoo and conditioner. If only they could add body wash in the shower and hand soap at the sink. Bedding and bath lineyn were crisp. Door did not seal well as it let in lots of light and noise. First floor was louder in the early morning with guest foot traffic than we would have liked but I guess expected for local commuters. We would stop here again just ask for a 2nd floor room.
