Checks all the basics. The room was clean and modern/ recently remodeled. Much nicer than other budget motels I've stayed at. Friendly staff. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that I can hear neighbors in the next room (which doesn't bother me).

Room was missing handles on the dresser, with dirty spots on the ottoman when you come in the room and an obvious stain on the ironing board. Staff was great, Airconditioning not needed, somewhat cool. Shops nearby? Didn't shop
