It was good for an over night stay, nothing too extravagant but it checked off all the boxes.

The staff was great! The room was simple and clean. The only issue we had was we could hear the TV from the room next to us and above us.

It’s ok
It was ok, but the people in next room were loud. The room smelled of curry. The bathroom was cold no heat or at least heat lamp.The saying, “you get what you pay for”

Bang for your buck!!
You will get your money's worth. These days you can never find a room under $100 that is decent. This one is exceptional! If you don't plan on being in the room for majority of your trip, then this one's for you! There's free breakfast and you can park in front of your room. The place is safe and secure!

Shared bathroom was a little creepy, but we arrived late and blocked the bathroom with a chair.

The staff was amazingly kind. Breakfast was MUCH more than expected. There was waffles and scrabbled eggs allong with the usual muffins toast cereal fruit and juice. The bed was firm. To note the room we were in the shower head was very low, I’m 5’7 and hubby is over 6. So there was some knee bending happening. But the quality service for the price paid was worth it.
