No frills, has all the basics, and is in a very convenient location for the area. Service has been consistent, and recommend this hotel if you’re trying to save a few dollars compared to the hotels nearby.

Over all for the price, our stay was good. Clean sheets. Clean towels. Clean room. The staff was friendly. The only reason why I didn’t give them a full 5 stars is because the parking fee was not transparent, our room was pretty chilly and heater was not working, our rooms coffee machine wasn’t working either. These were minor things (for us) since we were in an out most of our stay. The location was great and I will most likely booking them again in our future visits.
