This place may not look that impressive from the outside, but my room was excellent! Bed was huge and cozy, it had a fridge, coffee pot & a microwave, and it was quiet at night. I felt like it was a great deal for such a cute room. Bathroom was dated, but it was clean, and that’s what really matters. Will stay there again! Only 4-5 minutes from good shopping and food.

Don’t stay here

Not sure how this hotel has such a high review, maybe they are all from the 80s and 90s. The entire hotel is dated, from the entryway to the rooms. My room smelled stale and bed was not comfortable. I had two queen beds, even though I booked a king, and one of the beds had hair on it. The linen included the thinnest sheet I’ve ever seen and a weird blanket/comforter thing. The shower was a blue I haven’t seen for 30 years and the ceiling was super low. The toilet seat was complete worn. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels, and this place is top three of the worst places I’ve stayed. I should have looked at the google reviews before booking.
