An older hotel but also very affordable. Very convenient in and out. Breakfast was adequate, good waffles. Were greeted by every staff we met. Very comfy beds and clean bathroom. Suite was nice to spread out in. Will book again.

Bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were clean. However, the couch had lots of stains and we didn't want to sit on it. The carpets in the hallways also had many stains. The air conditioning in the room was very loud and made a low noise unlike other hotel ACs - made it harder to sleep.
