Nice hardwood flooring in room. Crisp bedding and soft towels. Decent breakfast offerings. We had a room on the main floor. Could hear a lot of noice from room above us because of the flooring. Second level should be carpeting for quietness.

Decent stay

Decent stay, great for the price and location of where I was visiting. It's not a luxury stay but knowing that it overalls is fine. Would like to see the breakfast bar up to where it needs to be. I would say that is my biggest complaint, not everything they could have available was not available. But overall a good stay. Especially given the price of the hotel.
