Summary: The room and the front desk employees were both GREAT! Loved staying here - the room for one person is smallish but enough amenities and space to rest nicely.

Christina Dec 25, 2025 02:31:02 AM

Daniel Dec 12, 2025 02:13:30 PM

SUSAN Dec 10, 2025 09:33:34 PM

Summary: I have stayed here about 5 times. Always good! Some of the rooms are pretty small but the location makes up for it! Nice staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds. Definitely recommend!

Keeli Nov 23, 2025 01:12:41 AM

Summary: Super noisy until late at night. Tried to eat in the restaurant but staff never noticed us standing there to take our to-go order. Next time we tried we ordered and paid and they never made our food so we ended up having to leave to drive home and the cook still hadn’t shown up. Awful!!

Judith Nov 16, 2025 04:24:08 AM

Summary: Very tired hotel. Very worn. And that is felt as an aside from it being an older building & structure.

Laura Nov 6, 2025 04:12:38 AM

Summary: Extremely limited andunpredictable what food is available for breakfast. On the other hand, many other restaurants nearby.

Jane Oct 29, 2025 07:04:56 AM

Summary: Wonderful location, great hotel, clean room, nice lounge and restaurant.

Nancy Oct 27, 2025 03:47:29 AM

Summary: The lobby is so cute and comfortable, the staff is lovely, the room is cozy and very clean. The bathroom is small but clean, the shower head height was a bit of a challenge since I am tall 😂. The only things I would say would be nice to add to the room would be a tv that was able to stream for movies, and full size water bottles. Maybe a better coffee station. Overall we were very happy with our stay! Will definitely be booking again in the future.
