Rooms was exactly as expected. The 101 is very close which is good because it was easy to find but bad because it was rather loud.

The room was clean and comfortable, albeit small but that was clear from the beginning. The staff were courteous and competent. The rates were more affordable than other nearby options. The location was decent, with the town center, the mission, and local shops were within walking distance.
