Excellent room accommodations.

Room has had recent remodel. Had mini fridge, microwave, quiet AC, reliable WIFI, spotlessly cleaned. Parking lot area made for compact cars. Difficult to find daily park spot. Would give 5 stars, except for poor parking availability.

Less than Average

It was ok, bathroom door did not shut. Old place. Bed was comfortable. The reviews stated better than it was. Just an old place. The front desk person was nice. Check in was easy, we arrived late and left early. Not my favorite place.

Rooms are very small, it would be tough to have two people moving around in the room at once. Otherwise, okay.
