The property was clean. We paid $20 for 2 of us to eat breakfast which was made to order and well worth it. When we arrived into our room our toilet paper was a used roll with a hot pink smiley face sticker we thought why the sticker? The hotel also ran out of body wash and didn’t communicate this to guests. They handed out bar soap when asked for bodywash. The bar soap dried out my face bad with one use

Nice, clean hotel

Overall, we were pleased with our one-night hotel stay. We were promptly checked in upon arriving, the room was clean, the AC worked well, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was quiet and we were all able to sleep well. The made-to-order breakfast was a nice option.The hotel was only a few minutes away from the F.M. Kirby Center where we went to see a music show.
