6/10 Good

This is an affordable hotel with a wonderful, friendly staff. The breakfast is much much better than would be typically found even at more expensive places. However, because it’s cooked to order, there may be a wait for a breakfast table. The room layout was a bit suboptimal as the bed couldn’t be accessed from both sides.

The breakfast menu was great and the food was very good! Our room was clean and spacious. The hallways outside of the hotel needed to be cleaned and the steps need a refresh. It's an older hotel.

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the bathtub drained very poorly and was quite stained. There are also a number of other minor areas that could stand repair or refurbishing. The included breakfast was quite tasty. All staff members with whom I interacted were pleasant, polite, and helpful.
