Overall, a very nice and cozy place in a great location. The room was clean and comfortable, though the pillows were a bit hard for my taste and the TV is quite old. That said, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are truly amazing—friendly, helpful, and made the stay enjoyable. I would stay here again.

There were flies in our room and in the cafeteria at breakfast time which is not what you want to see. Staff was lovely though and the hotel was clean. Staff are really helpful. It's an okay budget hotel.

Staff were very friendly and room was comfortable and clean, but could use some attention in places like shower door tracks. Description in Expedia said the rooms had bathtubs, but apparently all bathrooms were upgraded recently to showers only.
