While this is a no frills hotel, it was super clean and my roommate and I really enjoyed the shower’s water pressure and the fact that there was plenty of hot water for a long relaxing shower. Bring your own shampoo and lotion as none were provided. If you are particular about soap, you might want to bring that to as they only give you two tiny bars. One for sink and other for shower. Free coffee in front desk area.

The room smelled clean but the floor was a little dirty other than this the room was clean. You must ask for extra pillows blankets and towels. Thank staff is nice and are happy to accommodate whatever you need. Bed was comfortable too. I reserved 2 Queen Size beds but at the time of our check in we got 2 full size beds instead. We made it work because I preferred a downstairs room. Overall it was a pleasant experience close to everything. I recommend The Good Lion Bar for drinks and Paula’s Pancake House! So delicious and large portions!!
