The hotel was convenient, clean and quiet. Although some of the rooms were being renovated, this didn't negatively impact our experience. The staff and owners were very helpful and friendly. They apologized several times for the renovations and were very welcoming. We would stay at this property again.

My wife and I stayed here because we travel for work. Check in was super quick and easy, staff was nice, our room was clean, comfortable and it was a quiet place. We were satisfied with our stay and will return when in town. It was budget friendly and served the purpose for our 3 night stay. They are actively renovating but it wasn’t loud or noisy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was dirty and unkept. There were broken towel latches on the bathroom door and bad wear (that looked like black mold) on the wallpaper around the hinges from the room door. There were bugs crawling and living in the room (2 spiders, moth, beetle). The room did not have a microwave. Housekeeping did change the trash can bags and towels daily, but the floor was not vacuumed and very dirty after our multiple day visit. There were renovations being done on the rooms at the end of our building and could be heard as early as 9am. The staff was friendly, but rarely was present. Overall, our stay was very disappointing and would not recommend.
