The hotel was nice. When we got there, check in was easy. The staff members were nice, I checked in late so I only spoke with one person, and during check out the manager or employee was attentive even though she was having to do other work. The room was clean and neat. I was pleasantly surprised by the space in the room. Parking is easy cause the its a small lot. Definitey part of my list as far as hotels to stay in while in the area.

When I arrived I thought that maybe I had made a mistake. The sign looked like something out of a vintage Hollywood movie. (I almost didn't stay) Went to the desk met the woman working who was fabulous. She suggested I go take a look at the room and then make a decision. So I did... Room was fantastic, clean and comfortable. I decided to stay- and I would return if in that area again. Tremendous value, comfortable- not a glamorous property but well maintained. I recommend

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

It was quiet, I felt safe and there were no bugs. I did have a couple small issues but they were immediately taken care of. The place is older and a little rough around the edges but none of that bothers me as long as it's quiet, safe and bug free!
