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.

This was a very good, affordable stop. Walked to nearby by sushi. Given that’s it’s on a busy street was surprisingly quiet. Breakfast was decent and the coffee was good.

For the cost, this hotel does it’s job. If you are looking for a fancy hotel, this is not it. This hotel serves it’s purpose as a convenient location to stay over at an affordable price. I chose this hotel based on location to my sister’s hm. I probably would not choose it again just because it had a weird smell coming from AC/heater unit and the walls are super thin. Night parking was a lil difficult during the holidays. Overall it served it’s purpose. Ty!
