Ok but needs updating

It was ok for sleeping. Unfortunately there is not much better to pick from in the area. Most other hotels are equal (but charge more) or go downhill in quality. It needs some major investment in remodeling and updating.

clean and comfortable

We did not spend a lot of time at this hotel and didn't get to enjoy the extra's the hotel had to offer. What we did notice was the check-in and out was efficient. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Our stay was great.
