8/10 Good
"Room with separate sitting room and two tv’s, microwave and desk was good for the price. Clean, but hotel is older and somewhat dirty and outdated. Was good for an overnight stop off based on the price."

8/10 Good
"The room, although we had a dog, was small and weirdly arranged. The frig was in a hallway and the bed had a metal holder that was exposed on the window side. I really loved the parking and other than we got used to the room, the hotel itself is really classy."
