DO NOT BOOK HERE! There were holes in the shower, stains on all of the bedding, I was told housekeeping was off for the weekend, the furniture and bedding had holes, and an adjoining room was complaining about bugs. I spoke with the manager and let him know I was uncomfortable staying there and requested a refund and he screamed at me. He called me greedy and refused to refund my stay. I was traveling for a funeral and exhausted upon arrival. I paid and still chose to leave the room and stay elsewhere due to being uncomfortable and fear of retaliation from the manager.

The place was okay and felt clean and comfortable in general. The room was tidy and included a nice TV, a Microwave and Refrigerator, an Iron with Ironing Board, and a Hair Dryer, plus WiFi access (which had issues). The bed was ample and comfortable but there were no spare blankets. The "breakfast included" was merely Hot Cereal Packets handed to you over the counter at check-in, along with Fruit Cups and Cereal Bars (which we had to retrieve on a daily basis). There were a couple of Coffee packets provided along with a Napkin, Sugar, Creamer packet, but not much else. No Tea or Cocoa. There was a separate room that had Ice and a Vending Machine for Soft Drinks. The other guest amenities in the room were limited, offering only two small packets of Shampoo/Conditioner plus a couple of small bars of Soap. There was no Lotion provided. The towels were on the small side and a bit rough but were clean. There was no toilet plunger in the bathroom. The radiator was a bit noisy but worked satisfactorily. For the price, it was adequately accommodating, but I'm not sure we would return here in the future.
