The staff were beautiful, there wasn't one person who wasn't friendly. We stayed in one of the private rooms and while small it worked for what we were doing. However, the bathroom always smelt and when I was doing a final check of the room, I checked under the bed for anything I might have missed and there was so much garbage under the bed that wasn't mine, it makes me concerned how much the room is properly cleaned in between people. Overall, it was a nice stay for the weekend if you're not the room for much more then sleep

Excellent location, and great price-service relation. The kitchen is outstanding and well provided, the bathrooms are always kept in great conditions. The rooms are reasonable in space, a little too hot on summer nights, and each bed has its own curtain and plug light for privacy and comfort. The staff is super friendly.
