The room was clean and neat and friendly staff. The decor was a bit retro mid century. Refrigerator and microwave and coffee maker. Perfect for one person or a couple. I am a travel health professional and found this a pleasant surprise. I’ll be staying here for my 13 week contract.

Was ok, but over rated. Was disappointed we did not have a continental breakfast. Besides the initial cost of the hotel this was the first place we stayed that required an additional 150- deposit on your credit card, in case there was damage to the room. They said it is refunded at checkout.
