Good way to save money. Not walkable to anything, so you must have transportation - most attractions, food, etc. are within 2-10km. Breakfast was cereal, muffin, yogurt, fruit but you have to take it yourself to your room (outside - would suck in the winter). Coffee was surprisingly good! Basic room with TV and mini fridge. Door locks are still old-fashioned keys. I would stay here again to save $40-50/night vs other hotels

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Overall, totally a fine establishment. Some cosmetic deficiencies in the room, specifically the bathroom with faucets coming away from the wall, things of that nature. But it was a clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. I was travelling with a lot of equipment for work, and being able to park 2 feet from my room door was excellent for moving items to-and-from the car each day. I would stay here again.
