Staff members were friendly and informative. Room was clean, but did not look exactly as advertised, not sure where the photos online are from (maybe the other location?) and was not what I expected from the listing. Functional microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker available. Hot water works and there are plenty of towels. The hotel is a rebranded Quality Inn. The soap dispensers and privacy card are still there. If you are looking for a cheaper (less than $100/night) layover spot in your travels I’d say go for it.
