The double room was small but clean and comfortable. And best of all, it was an affordable option for a grandma, grandchildren and a dog that wanted to stay close to the Rotary Park ball fields without spending an arm and a leg. The shower was good and hot. The breakfast was also good. We all slept well and left feeling good!

The breakfast menu was very basic. packaged oatmeal, coffee, toast, cereal, waffle maker. No pastries or eggs. The room was clean and the bed comfortable but the lamp shades had holes and looked like they were broken. The in wall heater did not seem to have a controller for the fan and when it unit came on it forced a large blast of air all the way across the room. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The little refrigerator was on and cold. That was a plus.

Walked in, the room smelled like fried chicken or something akin to freshly-made fried gas station food. I felt "something" as I walked across the carpet. Done. Literally stayed there for 10 minutes. Because of my tight schedule, I had to leave and book another place while on the road to my meeting. The lady at the front was nice; too bad the property did not meet minimum expectations
