Room reminded me of my college dorm- painted concrete block walls. Shower had cold and very cold water to choose from. Pluses- quiet and bed was comfortable. Okay for my purposes for one night. I’d look elsewhere in the future.

The person at the front desk was great. Check in and out were very easy. Breakfast was surprisingly plentiful despite the lack of space. They are doing some construction to make a lounge area. The room was okay. We slept well, which is the main point. The shower did not produce hot water and is also quite small. Parking was right in front of our room and it was nice to be in a single story building. My main complaint besides the lack of hot water is the doors. The bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and the front door was also sticky. We couldn’t use the security lock on the door because it doesn’t quite line up.
