The main reason for the great review was the cost/quality ratio. For what we paid it was a great experience. The hotel was very quiet and the room was homey. There was a fridge, a microwave, and a TV with cable and internet access. (more than some expensive hotels!) Would stay here again if in the area.

Check in was a great and smooth experience. The guy checking me in was really kind. And he told me everything I needed to know, how to reach him, WiFi password and details on the room and check out. There was also communication via text hours prior to check in. Everything was clean and put together in the room as well. The only issue I had a little bit was handling the lock on the door. I had a hard time locking it from the outside, so I locked from the inside and closed the door to lock it.
