It was cozy and neat. Very simple and tidy. The only thing i have to fix is the smell. There is a distinct smell like sweat. I have to spray too much of febreze before the smell gone from my sense of smell🤗, but overall we’re all happy.

Overall stay was good, location is walking distance to everything that you may need. Only complaint is they need to make sure the little things like toilet paper and Kleenex are stocked in bath room (we ran out). We would stay here again

Check in was easy and pleasant. The wonderful lady at the front went a bit over and beyond finding us secure parking in the area as this specific hotel does not have its own parking. All the staff seem to be so friendly.
