Wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Location of property was nice.

Front desk attendant was nice.

Cons:

The room was not clean.
Linen was wrinkled.
Pop bottle that didn’t belong to me under the bed.
Seen a roach in the bathroom.

Breakfast wasn’t good- burnt bacon, scorched eggs, cold French toast.

Good for a couple of days.
Pros:

Excellent location. Comfy bed. Warm room. Hair drier. Hanging space. I asked for a quiet room, and I got it.

Cons:

Carpet on floors. Staff a bit cold. Functional comfy, but not that fancy for the price.
