Found this hotel a couple years back when an event I attended was scheduled there, and have stayed there a handful of times since then. You really can't beat the room price, nothing fancy but clean and quiet with a pleasant atmosphere. Nice for a staycation.The only negative is that they started charging $24 per night for parking, which seems like lot.

Amenities weren’t as depicted . The room was no where near what is declined in the photos Just about everything in the room is broken; outlets, towel holders, shower curtain holder, chair. TV is extremely low quality. For the price it was absolutely ridiculous for the type of room we received. We filed multiple noise complaints for our ONE NIGHT stay. We would call the front desk and she would brush it off asking they’ll send someone yet wouldn’t even ask for their room number. They would not send anyone for any of the ones we called the front. Also the staff to check in was very unwelcoming. I would NEVER stay here again or recommend anyone to this hotel EVER.
