Clean. Friendly staff. Dated. Not much space in the bath area to put our stuff. Or counter in the bed area to lay out our things.That was our only negative & that being personal preference. Otherwise it was a nice place for the price.

Beds matter

Reserved a king bed but upon entry, the room smelled of cigarette smoke. Was quickly reassigned a new room, but could only get a two-queen room. I have stayed here a half-dozen times, always with a king bed which was firm and comfortable. The queen beds were too soft. If you go here and need a firm bed, go for a king room.
