You get what you pay for
The room was cheap and the manager at check-in was great...that's about it. Stains on the sheets, uncomfortable pillows and beds. If ever back in the area, I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

The beds and inside the room was clean, room bit noisy. The property mentioned continental breakfast free, I would don’t deceive by this. They just had few items from Costco on the counter.
