I've stayed here a few times now and I keep coming back because the rooms have always been clean and comfortable and the staff always friendly and wanting to please. The area has always been pretty quiet as well. It's not a luxury hotel with all the amenities but if you want a good clean place to stay in the area at a decent price you should give it a try

Room was clean, difficult regulating temperature. Bedspread was very thin so I felt chilled which usually I am quite hot. Should have extra blanket available. Room was very overpriced but the location was suitable for our needs
