Our room was very comfortable and accommodating due to the nature that we're disabled. And the front desk clerk was extremely friendly and he remembered us from a previous visit. We will definitely stay again.

The parking was excellent. It was right next to our room so it made things easy for us to move our stuff inside. We had an issue with our water knob being hot in our bathtub, but they quickly resolve the issue. I would definitely return again.

I had a great stay overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the bed was especially comfortable after a long day. The staff was friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out quick and easy. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made it easy to relax. There were a few small things that could be improved, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. I would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to others looking for a reliable and comfortable place to stay.

Good location, fair price, clean rooms, rooms have everything but a microwave, beds and pillows aren't uncomfortable but not fluffy, check in takes a bit longer than usual, outside isn't as clean as in the rooms but the area feels safe and secure. Shower pressure is non existent. Would stay there again

About what you would expect from a 2-star place. Our room had an extra room inside of it with bunk beds with 2 twin-size beds in the main room. could sleep 6 to 7 people with double bunking. Great plus. The rooms themselves need a facelift for sure. Sheets seemed clean. bathroom was under par - water issues at the sink and shower.

Hands down if you’re just looking for a place without any of the over the top expectations because the vacation you’re looking for is somewhat filled with more simplicity than I would say this is the place for you. Had a very easy and simple check-in process. Simple no hassle card key to the room. And as wonderful, clean and plain property to enjoy on my vacation. I am most definitely recommending this place to anyone who is looking for convenience, and once again without anything extra…
