The elevator was broken during our stay, so dragging our luggage up to the third floor wasn't fun. The room was fairly well maintained. When we left to go to breakfast, there was a wet plunger sitting right next to our door, so that was kind of gross. I would recommend your TV in the common area be tuned to a more neutral channel like the Food Network or something. The last thing I wanted to do while eating breakfast was listen to right wing conservative propaganda drivel disguised as "news" as Fox News was playing.

During our stay, we experienced a lot of noise (stomping on the floor above us, kids screaming in the hallway, vacuuming early in the morning). We also had to wait 20 minutes for the continental breakfast to be refilled. Overall, our stay was not worth what we paid for it.

It was a good no-frills experience. On check-in, they advised that bookings by 3rd parties (Expedia) are subject to an additional $5 fee. I advised that I pre-paid for the booking and that there shouldn’t be any additional fees—that’s why I booked through Expedia. They offered a one-time removal of the fee. Other than that brief moment, it was great. Place is clean, Staff was pleasant, and the breakfast was tasty.
