Overall not too bad, breakfast was just what they had out the night before. It’s definitely an older hotel that’s been renovated with used furniture. But the people were good. For the price it wasn’t bad.

Great hidden gem

This is a hidden gem. It is located right next to apartments for the local college, so it is very safe and clean. The room was very clean, the bathroom was clean. Only downfall is at the breakfast is Very limited, but bang for the buck I would highly recommend this hotel.

The guy at the front desk was amazing. So nice and helpful. The room itself is nice, but no coffee maker. That surprised me. And then the bed. I remember as a kid having a bed where the mattress was parked on top of bedsprings. It was noisy getting in and out of bed. The bed here is all of that and worse. Every time you move, it's so loud it wakes you up. Thankfully, I'm not a restless sleeper, but still . . . this bed needs replacement.
