Not perfect, but good.

This was a very acceptable room, but not carefully finished. Sloppy caulking, etc. It is in a good location. Lots of nearby businesses, but not noisy. The staff tried to be helpful, but couldn't accommodate our request for watching the major broadcast channels, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. We were hoping to watch some season finale programming. They are limited to DISH, I think. The breakfast was adequate, not elaborate. I would go back.

The bed was comfortable. There wasn't a guide on the remote or a channel guide. The pillows were okay, I always take mine because I need a certain type. There was some water damage from past storms that you could see in the roof corners. It was a nice and quiet hotel. The continental breakfast is just that. One thing for new guests is that in my room to get hot water in the shower you have to turn it to the right and not the left or you will be very cold, lol. Would stay here again.

It was very affordable, but it smelled like an Indian restaurant. I had to keep my window open all night and there was no screen, so I was lucky it wasn't bug season yet. Either the live-in management or a long term guest is into Curry. In fact, at the breakfast area, a man pulled a covered plate out of a cooler and put it in the microwave, but I checked out before I had to find out what it was or was going to smell like.

If i could give 10 stars I would. The pictures were accurate as shown. The hotel smelled clean when coming in and the floors were clean and shiny. The room was very clean and bed was very comfortable. Its not right off toll road but it was half the price of those so worth finding it. Easy to get to finding someplace to eat. Thank you for such a great place to stay.
