The room was in good condition, but there were no services, as there was not even a phone in the room, and no area for storage either. Very basic for travelers.

Parking was easy. The staff are courtesy and professional. This was my second time staying here and my first time leaving a review for them , what compelled me to do so was them willing to work with me for an early check in. I never asked for an early check in during my first stay but due to my plans it was necessary this second time around and luckily they allowed it . This sole reason is enough for me to want to leave a review as they did not have too . For the price you pay it’s about what you would expect . I always check for bed bugs and did not find any both stays so that’s always a plus . I would stay here again if there price range remains about the same otherwise I would just pay the $60-$80 difference towards a name brand hotel.

What a great place to stay! Shawn (or maybe it's Shaun or Sean) and Xavier were fantastic hosts. The hotel is in a great location, walkable to lots of good restaurants, and (if you're a fan of classic TV) the Brady Bunch house is less than a mile away!
