Clean, comfy beds, spacious room, refrigerator, microwave, good price. Limited parking near your room. Second floor room, with stairs on back of building. Ice machine hopper with scoop feels not as clean as dispenser. Difficult to go room temperature correct. Window in sleeping area but opens directly onto walkway and no security if left open at night. No air conditioning.

The stay was comfortable and the staff very friendly helpful. The room was fine and clean. The bed was a bit noisy, the tub drained slowly, and an ashtray near the room wasn't cleaned out. For the price and for a night it was fine.
