"For a budget hotel, I really enjoyed my stay. The staff is what really sets this place apart. Everyone was very friendly! The room was spacious and clean, although a bit dated in some aspects (the color scheme was interesting). Couple of things I wished it had - hair dryer, plastic cups for water, and a clock… but that’s me being nit picky :)"

"My room was nice and quiet, very clean with no odors. Bed was comfortable. The evening staff that greeted me was very friendly and personable. I felt the value was good for the money. My only disappointment was my fault. I read the description as "Breakfast included" but it actually said "Breakfast Available". Again, that was my fault, not the hotel's, but I was still disappointed with that."
