This is my go to hotel when I need one that’s not too expensive and I feel very safe and always clean . There’s very speacial about the property , the beds are mostly king and some queens so that’s nice . It’s a cozy safe hotel . The breakfast is not that good. Definitely they need to work on that . They could easily have the buffet be fresh and tasty and enjoyable. People would appreciate it so much more !
