The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were friendly. Areas of possible improvement lighting in the bathroom was dim and the shower was peeling and rusty. I had a hard time using the shower faucet. The location was great and parking was free and ample at the hotel.

I’m a bit of a germaphobe and it’s hard to find a place where I don’t get the “ick” feeling. This place definitely is very clean and made me feel comfortable. I traveled alone as a female with my teenage daughter which can be scary but I felt completely safe here. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall this property was nice to stay at for convenience purposes. You can hear everything thought for example a person simply knocking on the door next to you sounds extremely loud and the walls are super thin. The hotel was hard to navigate as well as to understand what floor was necessary to be on to make it to the parking lot, very spacious property.
