There is no pool so that should be advertised. Also thought it odd they wanted to charge extra per person for the room. The room slept 4 and there were 3 of us. I’ve never had a hotel do that. Maybe just me.

Nice for an overnight stay

We made an error when making our reservations. We arrived after midnight to check in. The gentleman working quickly assisted us in correcting our error, so we could check into our room.

Fine for a cheap stay

Breakfast wasn’t even worth having and the room wasn’t as clean as I think I should have been but staff was kind and the hotel was quiet.
