Clean room, decent complimentary breakfast, and excellent value for the price. We had a two room setup with one king bed and two full size beds. This many beds is hard to find even at much higher price points.

We used the family friendly room and it was very comfortable and nice for everyone. Staffs are friendly and even let us check in early. One thing that I didn’t like was that WiFi was very weak or no internet connection at all. Other than that everything was pleasant and I’ll definitely stay there again.

The staff was not very helpful or friendly. The room was old and had a horrible door. It didn’t lock and was shaking in the wind. The best part about it was the free breakfast and that wasn’t even that great. I won’t be staying here again.
