This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.

Not fancy but pleasant stay

The check-in staff was friendly & helpful. Check-out was easy. We stayed 4 nights. They don’t enter your room during your stay, which we don’t mind. They are still willing to provide extra towels & garbage removal, if you let the office know. The room was clean, but the furniture is old & a bit worn out. The bed was comfortable. We would likely stay again.
