Room was clean and nicer than I expected for the price. Staff was helpful. Only complaint is that the beds are super hard. I understand that they will last longer which keeps costs down but it was like sleeping on a wooden block with a cardboard topper.

The employee who checked me in was excellent. He even remembered my name from my last stay, which I thought was incredibly impressive. The room is clean and really comfortable. I think this property is kind of a hidden gem.
