Decent hotel. Can’t go wrong with the price. The room could’ve been cleaned a little better. Unfortunately, super dusty and floors were dirty. And it smelled really bad that we had to buy air fresheners. But staff was super kind. I would stay again but would just hope for a cleaner room next time.

Got free parking right in front of my room. Breakfast was okay, not many people in the hotel. The TV did not work, but I did not have time to talk to the front desk about that. The heating made a lot of noise.

The property was convenient for the two night, but I would not give it even a 5 other than the friendliness of the staff. Our bathroom fan sounded like a jet engine taking off, the sink and shower leaked. The only good thing was it was quiet and convenient to our friends house. Would not recommend until a renovation is completed. When we mentioned items to front desk all they said was ‘it’s an old hotel’.
