It served our purposes well. Nothing fancy, but very clean, which is the most important thing to us. Liked: The room was clean and it was across the street from one of the best restaurants in town. Disliked: The outside looked a bit sketchy, but we were pleased when we saw the room.

Liked: We appreciated the comfortable beds and showers. The decor was also very pleasant. We stayed in eight hotels in the last ten days and yours was the best. I would also like to thank your check in staff for her kindness and professionalism.

Liked: Great room for four soccer moms traveling to watch their kids play. Two sofa beds and two queens in one room was perfect for our needs. Bedding was clean and staff was helpful. Disliked: There was an uncomfortable smell in the room that opening the window didn't fix. It smelled kind of like an old person's house. We got used to it pretty quick, but it made us wonder if the room was really clean or just surface clean.
