The place is clean, and the staff is nice. The area felt safe. The rooms are on the small side. Nothing fancy. Just a place to sleep. The free breakfast is good. They have coffee, juice, toast, pastries, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, fruit.

The beds were comfy and it was great having three beds in the room. The only drawback was the WiFi was nonexistent. We stayed two nights and it wasn’t too big a problem but If you are someone who needs WiFi this may not be the place for you.
