Decent, clean, friendly

This hotel was perfect for our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast options were available daily, the room was clean. Don't expect fancy. Its simply a decent, quiet, clean space to lay your head. Good location to airport and downtown area. Close to everywhere I wanted to go. Safe parking space, well lit. I'd recommend it and I'd stay again.

Good stay for a short visit.

Phone didn't work in my room. Wasn't there long enough for it to matter. There was not a TV remote in the room. Had to go down to the front desk since the phone didn't work. They gave me one that did work. Breakfast was good!! All else was satisfactory.

Seemed clean enough for the money. The bath sink was clogged and water went down VERY slowly.

I'd give it a C minus but I was with the guys for the race so it was fine.
