Clean, newly renovated, and affordable

We’ve got the room for four as it was a family trip. Actually there are 2 rooms. Excellent beds, newly renovated and updated unit. The bathroom is tiny but it does the job. We were very pleased with the condition. Looks better in the inside than outside. Definitely recommend if you are not bothered by the proximity to the highway.

Good hotel but not too quiet

Very good, comfortable and clean hotel but walls are a little thin. Traffic and noise noise from guest rooms make getting a good nights sleep not easy. But for a sound sleeper it should be fine.
