The staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was what you would expect from a "budget" hotel. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The mini fridge allowed us to keep essentials on hand. The microwave allowed us to cook in the room and save money not having to eat takeout. The absolute best part of our stay was the continental breakfast. The Golden Waffle machine is AMAZING!!!! All the fresh, golden waffles you can eat. I would stay here again just for the waffles! Great stay at a great price.

The lady at the front desk was super sweet! Although were given the wrong room, she fixed and even called us after check to make sure we were happy. Definitely good customer service on her part. There was no breakfast served, that falls on the owners.
