Comfy beds, clean rooms, friendly staff. Awesome location! Only negative is the shower doesn't really have any water pressure. That shouldn't stop you from staying here though, just be prepared.

This is a basic hotel. That said, the staff was very pleasant, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location couldn't be better. Given that I just needed a safe and convenient place to sleep, it was perfect for my needs. I wouldn't necessarily stay here if I planned to spend a lot of time in the room or lounging about at the hotel, but it was everything I needed, and even had a mini refrigerator, an umbrella, and an iron in the room.
