Inexpensive hotel with decent rooms

It was a very short stay for me, arrived early evening and had to checkout at 545 to catch a bus. The manager was friendly, very accommodating and he made my stay comfortable. If you're looking for inexpensive accommodations without a lot of frills, consider giving Star Lodge a try.

Everything was great, affordable for my budget, and easy to get things around, a Canadian store for some groceries tosave some money, Domino's Starbucks, Deny's, some little malls near the hotel, if using public transportation you have it in front of hotel, if you have a car, everything is around 10 minutes. The only bad point was some reighbors were smoking and smell was getting inside the room, but that is not hotel's fault. The best, very affordable.
Fridge, microwave, bathtub, all clean.
A nice view from part of city
Parking, if you have car

Good value

I was refreshingly surprised by the kindness and great service that, Manga, the proprietor, afforded me. Although the Hotel is older, it was clean and quiet and, importantly, for a business traveler, affordable! Keep up the good work! I will stay here again. N.K. Burgess

The owner/operator went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Other hotels in area would not. Very friendly and yes it is an older hotel but the price was very reasonable and all I needed was a place to sleep.
