I have stayed here several times. The night staff (the couple) are very nice and accommodating and helpful. They helped me book a room in the middle of the night after several failed attempts thru Expedia, and they not only matched the prices they gave us the room for a bit less. Saved my daughter and I from not having a place to stay for that night. I will definitely stay there again.

Pretty run down for the price. Bathroom floor tile was dirty and could use new shower curtain. Would have stayed elsewhere but all was booked due to graduation weekend. Definitely took advantage by increasing price for a 2 star hotel.
