Great for the price and location!
Pros:

The staff was very welcoming and helpful! The breakfast was wonderful and checkout was easy.

Cons:

I was surprised to see that the walls in my room and hallway were very dirty and the smell of weed was bad! I chose non smoking and that smell makes me sick.
