The room and building was clean. Comfortable bed and sheets and linens. Nice shower.The breakfast had good options for a to-go style breakfast. Noise from the street and vibrations from people walking in other rooms, even though we were on the top floor and also the cleaning people speaking to each other in the hallways in the morning. if the noise doesn’t bother you, this is a great value.

The room and bathroom were clean. We stayed 2 nights. I was impressed that the room was cleaned after the first night. I’ve stayed in hotels where they clean the room every other day.. So that was a plus. Staff was courteous.. check in was easy. Plenty of parking.. (about $17 a night).

I stayed two nights, the first night was OK because it was relatively quiet, and we did stay in a handicap room which served me perfectly at the moment because I have a bum knee. The second night we had made a reservation after the fact so they had to move us out of the room while we were attending a baptism so we were rushed packing before we had to leave, and the staff moved our things to a different room. when we came back late in the evening they put us in a room that was facing the street, which was absolutely horrendous because we heard sirens all night. We turned the air conditioner on so we could muffle the sound, but that was even worse! Room 333, stay out of it if possible, no water pressure also! I don’t like staying in a hotel that does does not have a private bathroom. The wash sink and mirror work in the same area where the beds are. So the light has to go on when people are sleeping. Not a good idea experience.
