Very nice room. Quick and easy check in. Quiet area. Breakfast was small, but adequate. Room was simple, but clean. Price was $75 after tax which was very reasonable.

Excellent value for the money and a great location for our travels -- perfect for exploring the area. The room was very spacious but the queen bed was saggy in the middle. It had poured right before we arrived and it was very humid the next morning so we were not able to take advantage of lovely outdoor seating area.

It was very nice our room, though was a little dirtier than it probably should’ve been but overall will stay again. I will just have to check the room again before I stay.

The 1st room we got we did a bed bug check and found shells and eggs under the bed. We went and told the people at the front desk and they were really quick to get us a new room and they let us show them where they were at.
We got to the new room and checked it again and the new room was completely bed bug free. We ended up staying for the 3 nights we booked. They also gave us a huge discount for the inconvenience.
