Great place for a quick stay, nothing fancy but convenient location. Friendly staff, quiet stay, and decent rooms with a kitchen if you need it. They are pet friendly which is great but our room smelled like a wet dog. So I would recommend asking if they have rooms that they don’t allow pets in for a future stay. Overall a great place for a great price!

Only there 1 night, designed as intended for longer stays, but bed is too close to the wall, would have to use the small dining table as a desk, would need outlets and more direct lighting over it. Body wash container was empty, toilet was NOT completely cleaned; TV guide not up to date.
