Disliked: Amenities
If you are looking for a hotel with nice amenities and comfort this is not going to be for you. This is an old school, bare bones place. Having said that, it is impeccably clean and the staff could not be nicer. It also has a full kitchen which we did not need. It also would’ve been nice to have a Brita pitcher to make filtered water and extra toilet paper.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very dated, but comfortable, great location and safe very helpful. Te accommodation was clean and very quiet. The sofa bed was not comfortable and my teenage kids complained it was not the best bed. I would recommend this place.

Great value considering location

Great location, enjoyed the big rooms, loves that windows all opened to enjoy the breeze, full kitchen was super nice for longer stay. Beds could use updating to newer more comfortable mattresses, and bathroom amenities were lacking, but otherwise a great value and comfortable stay!
