Pricing good. Had no housekeeping service. Didnt get daily towels replenished, no trash bags replenished, etc.. had large gap at bottom of door which allowed cold air in room. No condiments for coffee. Other wise ok.

Perfect location to downtown. Literally right there. This is one of those hotels where you get what you pay for. Staff was fine, our key was taped to the lobby door when we got there because they closed early so that was convenient, room wasn’t the cleanest, but was ok. Bring your own blankets as theirs are thin and old. Perfect perfect location, walkable to the village and downtown. Overall would stay again if working with a budget, but don’t expect anything nice here.

Cheap room
The room was musty smelling. Black stains on the sheet, The room did not feel clean. The plus was a new AC/heat unit. Very bland! No pictures on the walls. Cheap room, but you get what you pay for.
