Pros:

I liked the location, the size of the room, and the cleanliness.

Cons:

The breakfast is very limited. It would be nice to add at least some cold cuts, cheese, or at least eggs. The coffee doesn’t even smell like coffee.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. Simple breakfast provided, which is nice and easy. Will stay
Pros:

It is convenient. Rooms are clean. There is a lot of Hwy noise but no one can fix that just because of the location. Next time I will ask for a room on the other side of the building.

Cons:

The shower curtain in our bathroom needed to be replaced. It was old, stained and tattered.

Could be a great place if they would put more money and effort into it.
Pros:

It was in a good spot of town

Cons:

The room smelled of smoke even though we paid for a non smoking room. The sheets were dirty. The shower was gross enough we bought a bottle of lysol bleach bathroom cleaner.
