Very nice stay. Not the Hilton, but very clean and comfortable. Excellent free breakfast. Nice long bath towels. Only two suggestions would be a microwave in the room and better channel choices on the TV. Would definitely stay there again.

Great hotel and it appears that the place is trying to make changes for the better. Remember when your front door faces a parking lot, just be prepared for noise and unfortunately during our stay there were many people choosing to talk right outside our door. The place has a rule for being quiet after 10pm but no enforcement unless you probably call them. But of course we didn't want to be singled out.

If you’re looking for a clean budget friendly hotel, this works. Room was very small, door did not seal all the way, it’s noisy when people are next to you or outside your door. Thankfully we didn’t need to be in our room much.
