Just ok. It was a lot cheaper than the other nearby hotels, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, nice staff, small but adequate breakfast.

Cons:

Our 3 day stay was greeted each day with this terrible aroma as you walked down the hallway. I couldn’t pinpoint what it was but thought it might be from the pets. I also didn’t like the fact that there was no housekeeping.
