Nice little place

We stayed for one night. The room was very clean, but the bed was older and not quite as comfortable as we would’ve liked. Check in was super easy and it was worth the money.

It’s not near anything, small bed and area. No real TV channels, no breakfast as the website said we were told no breakfast because of Covid. Not worth the price.
