Practical if you’re going for budget friendly. Clean & pretty basic. There wasn’t an ironing board which we needed the first morning - but the manager did make it a point to bring a tabletop ironing board later that afternoon. Mattress quality was sub-par (spring coils, no support) but gave a constructive suggestion to the management. We would stay again if the mattresses are updated. ##### Tracy ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles B. Aug 10, 2025 ##### Charles B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David G.
