This hotel is a little dated, but I love that it was so close to the downtown area. I wish they offered meat options at the breakfast bar but what was available was okay. Lots of food options in the area.

For the most part the place was clean. I didnt care for the water smelling like sulfur or that the place was lacking in pest control.

The staff was nice. They won’t bring you towels after 3. The beds and room were decent. There was mold in the closet and around the safe was disgusting. So we just didn’t use the safe. It was what you pay for.
