Had a wonderful time
Pros:

The people were super nice.

Cons:

I do wish they had some kind of breakfast if only it was donuts. Also on the coffee needs to have a K cup machine.

Great value. Friendly helpful staff
Pros:

The staff. Both people I delt with were super friendly and helpful . Able to have a late check out a fair additional cost. Was also able to check in early . Big pluses for me.

Cons:

Room is very basic but that’s fine. Bed was pretty hard. But linens clean an comfy. Needs alil bit of freshening up. But it’s a great value clean close to high wat safe place to crash.
