Basic. In the first room I got, the lock on the window was broken. The front desk person gave me a new room quickly, though. I asked for no cleaning service, but they came in and cleaned anyway while I was out. Also, they charge for parking. (I didn’t have a car, so not relevant to me, but I would have been peeved if I had a car and had to pay for parking.)

This is my go to hotel when I need one that’s not too expensive and I feel very safe and always clean . There’s very speacial about the property , the beds are mostly king and some queens so that’s nice . It’s a cozy safe hotel . The breakfast is not that good. Definitely they need to work on that . They could easily have the buffet be fresh and tasty and enjoyable. People would appreciate it so much more !
