Nice new bathroom fixtures. I will stay here when I next come to town. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Jan 19, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A great value for the a clean, comfortable room with everything you need. The staff was helpful and friendly. Convenient parking right by your room. Although it’s quiet and I heard no street noise, the hotel is located on a busy street with lots of businesses, so if it’s a view or nature you want, this is not your choice. If you want convenient location with walkable stores and restaurants, this is perfect. Clean, safe and affordable- I’ll be back for sure! ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean rooms, pleasant staff, lots of restaurants to choose from in the area. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Would definitely stay here again! centrally located for easy access to many places.

It was a very convenient, central location. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Yes, it was a wee bit dated, but that just added to the character. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Keeping in mind this is not 4-star hotel, it certainly met all of my needs and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. And it is very reasonably priced! ##### Sharon Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had an amazing trip because of how awesome this location was.

Very friendly and welcoming. And it smelled good in the office. He remembered us. We like the activism center next door. There was a band there which we were invited to. We can easily access the bus back to 17 and to the beach. We love grocery outlet, the microwave and the fridge. Checking in is so simple, and I was so exhausted. The bed was huge and comfy. My only complaint was too much bleach on the sheets. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Very friendly staff.
