The room was very clean and we loved how big the bathroom was. It would have been nice to have a adjustable shower head but it had decent water pressure. The linen smelled clean but the bed was very hard. We would recommend this place just for the cleanliness and staff friendliness.

Good enough!
Listen, this isn't gonna be the fanciest hotel you ever stay at...but if you need a fairly cheap hotel for a quick stay, this one is just fine. Staff was friendly enough, it was clean enough, and felt safe enough. Breakfast was decent as well!

Comfortable and Clean
4 out of 5 only because the hot food was already cleaned up and put away 10 minutes early. Please give the staff instruction to leave it out until 10am since thats what guests are told. I paid a bit more to stay here because breakfast was imcluded. Loved how clean everything was though and all the staff was very friendly.
