Upon arrival I received a warm welcome. The lobby is clean and offers hot coffee or cold water. My room was clean with a mini-frig and microwave. It had an ironing board and iron too. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was nice and hot. The bathroom walls could use a little upgrading though. The breakfast buffet was delicious and I found plenty to eat being gluten free. Parking was never a problem. I will be back.

The room was large, and the bed comfortable. The A/C worked fine. We slept well, and had a nice breakfast. However, this property is very dated ... back to around 1985. The furniture in the room was a mix of very old, and fairly new. The property has a lot of wood decoration, with dark brown carpets. It worked out fine for an evening stay, which is all we needed.
