Clean facilities, friendly staff, convenient location, quiet property with easy check in and out. Overall enjoyed our stay. Minor issue with the tv being tricky to figure out, wifi was spotty at times, minor items in the room out of order (towel hanger missing from bathroom door), no deal breakers just minor non ideal things. Over still a great value based on the staff, convenient location, and cost.

6/10 Good

The room was very spacious, probably because it originally was used for storage or such. It was an unusual configuration. There was a lot of unused space. The bathroom was fine and clean, as was. the room in general. The use of furniture was odd. Access to the room was good. It was in a deep corner of the L'shaped room layout. The rooms were number 6, 7, 8, 25, 26, 9, 10, etc. It was hard to figure where my room (25 I think was located as it was not in sequence! The desk clerk was very helpful, and the property was clean and neat. I had a good nights sleep. That's really enough!

Rooms are great for the price , bed was very comfortable, clean rooms as well . The only downside is the parking , spaces are very small and seems like there’s not enough parking for the amount of rooms.

8/10 Very good

Clean room, comfortable bed. Only complaint is the thin thin walls where you can hear people talking in the next room and playing music. But for $65.99 a night, I shouldn't complain.
