10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice and clean facility. Check in was fast and easy. The gentleman at the desk was super friendly and courteous. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The only downside for us was no elevator but we got an accessible room so we were on the ground floor. We definitely will stay here again."

"Overall a decent place to stay. It is showing some age but the room was pretty clean and the bed/pillows were comfortable. No frills but if you are just looking for a decent place to sleep this is ok. The air conditioner worked great but it’s the old style so you are in close proximity to the noice they make. Nice TV, bathroom and vanity old school but very functional."
