This place was a tad difficult to find, I missed it but also did not have GPS running. I was a little concerned when I pulled up because the exterior is a bit dated. The staff was friendly and check in was a breeze. I stayed in room 118. The room surprised me. It looked recently renovated. It looked and smelled clean. The bed was firm but comfortable. A decent sized TV on the wall. The bathroom was clean. I would recommend.
