This is a great place to stay on a budget. It's very reasonably priced, the rooms are spacious and clean and the complimentary breakfast was a great bonus. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location as well. The only issue would be the outdoors could use a good clean and maybe a little renovation.

The hotel is well located. They are rather thin on the staff, so expect to self-service more. Limited parking on-site.
