The price was right for a two queen size beds, room. The room was quiet despite being next to the freeway. The bed was very comfortable and pillows were good quality. Towels were newer and not scratchy. The shower in room 325 has been beautifully updated with new tile and glass door. The only negative is the property is showing signs of being dated such as older and mismatched furniture in the room which might be the disadvantage up against the “fancy” name brand hotels. For the great price, I would definitely book here again!

The woman who checked us in was absolutely lovely. She was patient, kind and had great energy. Our room was just ok. the fridge was dirty and the couch was peeling. There was a musty smell when we came in. The bathroom was clean, and the shower had good water pressure.
