Review for 2 queen beds room. Lots of room on floor for bags and suitcases. Nice table with 2 chairs. Sink outside of bath/toilet which is always convenient. Plenty of lighting in room. Enough wall sockets in room for charging phones, computers, etc. Adequate parking close to room. WiFi works good, fast. Continental breakfast simple but enough to satisfy. No microwave in room. Good price for a comfortable room. Would stay there again.

Nice rooms but the office is only open 12 hrs. and there are no room microwaves to warm up food if you arrive or eat something you brought, after hours. The breakfast is junk food & cold cereal " milk available by request", what? So keeping those things in mind, its still a decent place.
