Very reasonably priced convenient location walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Free safe parking lot. Rooms comfortable and mostly clean. Bed cover was dirty but sheets and pillow covers were clean.
This is the second time I have stayed at this property and it was not a disappointment. Quick sign in and room was as expected. No trouble exiting the next day. I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in town for another concert.
We just needed a quiet room to sleep overnight. It was perfect for our needs. The night staff and day staff were professional and very nice to our family. We felt safe and slept well.
This was my fourth time staying at this hotel, and it was fine (and the rate was good) but the breakfast used to be great, but since the switch away from La Quinta it's become pretty forgettable, which was disappointing.
The building and rooms are dated, but the hotel was VERY clean and had more amenities than some "fancier" hotels I have been in lately. We stayed four nights, and the staff was always friendly and helpful, even to the point of a maintenance guy helping us when we couldn't get our room key to work.... Thanks!
The room was very clean. Breakfast had good selection of bagels, toast, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt cups & waffles along with coffee and tea.
Staff was pleasant & helpful. Restaurants across the street. I didn’t need parking, but there was ample free parking.Water & coffee in the lobby.

The room was clean, but there was so many roaches in the restroom at night. I could not sleep at night after that, other than that, the room was okay.
