My only issue was some minor cleanliness problems. The linens were noticeably dirty upon arrival and the trash can in the bathroom had a mysterious dried-liquid stain on it and the floor underneath. Good location, friendly and helpful staff, one voucher for breakfast per night.

The manager was having a bad night, unfortunately he was cursing dropping f booms and just being unprofessional. Customers that are tired don't want to deal with that...keep your problems to yourself

It was convenient and clean. It was a little noisy at night and the parking is super tight if you drive anything larger than a small car. Overall, it was a good place to stay and would do it again.

The room was decently refurbished with a pillow top kind of bed. The sheets are a rough inexpensive lesser quality than the satin stripe cover that gives the impression they will be the smooth higher thread count type. Exterior of hotel and outside walkways & stairs are in shabby condition.
