Nice clean rooms. Staff pleasant. Reserved 2 queens but when we arrived it was a queen and a single. Worked out ok. Kind of noisy. Inexpensive option for 1 night.

The rooms were dingy and not well cleaned, cobwebs and dust in corners. Furniture had clearly seen better days. We sat on the small patio adjacent to the room one night and something came running from the restaurant area across the patio, not a rabbit or a mouse but no one hung around long enough to get a good look. Would not go back.
