During our stay, we experienced a lot of noise (stomping on the floor above us, kids screaming in the hallway, vacuuming early in the morning). We also had to wait 20 minutes for the continental breakfast to be refilled. Overall, our stay was not worth what we paid for it.

It was a good no-frills experience. On check-in, they advised that bookings by 3rd parties (Expedia) are subject to an additional $5 fee. I advised that I pre-paid for the booking and that there shouldn’t be any additional fees—that’s why I booked through Expedia. They offered a one-time removal of the fee. Other than that brief moment, it was great. Place is clean, Staff was pleasant, and the breakfast was tasty.
