The stay here was great. The hotel was in great shape, the desk clerk was friendly, the luggage carts sturdy and elevator worked! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. That's what we were looking for and this spot checked off all of our needs.

The property was in the Downtown which we needed. The area is typical downtown with the benefits of small really good eating places. The hotel caters to middle class people and has a great vibe. For the price it was a warm and friendly place with everything we needed.
