Breakfast was trouble, and I won't eat again. No water; they charge $1.00 for water and juice, cash only. I will not stay in this place again. The entrance from the street is very narrow, and many people hit the concrete wall. For the price, we can find a better place.

Decent A/C, FANTASTIC parking! Beds not the most comfortable- most disappointing is beds are advertised as “Queens” and they were actually only “FULLs”. Bathroom had zero shelving and nowhere to place toiletries, se we just pulled a chair into the bathroom. Very clean, friendly staff with excellent parking. Definitely value for money, but the beds were the largest put off. Lovely little property otherwise!
