Liked: Staff & service
It was nice to have the room cleaned and beds made the first night, but didn’t receive the same for the other three nights. We ate waffles, pastries, bananas, juice, and coffee. The one small window in room could have used a curtain to block out some light in the morning and night. It was a good for the price we paid on our budget.

Room in decently clean noting special but clean. Counter person was nice, disappointing was the claimed "continental" breakfast? Consisted of yogurt bananas and fruit Danish packaged pastry. Drip coffee machine. Not you typical buffet toast, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee & tea most people reading that would expect. (You've been warned)

Love this place.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here because it’s family friendly and not far from anything. The staff is always friendly and the hotel though on a busy street is quiet.
