Basic to the point of being uncomfortable
Word to the wise: this place is basic to the point of being uncomfortable. Nothing wrong with basic accommodations, but both the reviews and the price point suggest a nicer experience. See if you can find a better branded hotel in the area - should be about the same money or just a little more.

The price was very reasonable. The room served its purpose. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking can be a little tricky at night especially. But nothing for me not to recommend this place to any looking for a great deal.

This place was better than expected. For a one night stay it was nice. It was very nice, clean and quiet. Loved the decoration of the front door. Beds were clean and comfy. Only thing I would say the ice machine wasn’t available and I kept hitting my foot on the bottom of the bed that was blocked off. But overall good :)
