The property was overall good with clean rooms. The front desk person was nice too.
The person who checked us in was very friendly. He made sure the room was ready for us and even offered to turn on the refrigerator. The room itself is quant, but clean.
Gotta say this was a great place to stay for price. Friendly staff easy check in . Room was very clean as thats the biggest thing for us. Beds are very comfy too. Now place and rooms are older and outdated but that does not mattter as it had everything we needed and again CLEAN. Now if you're looking for a luxurious option this is probably not for you. But if you're not needing a luxurious and expensive place this is it. We will Definitely stay here again.
