I was surprisingly impressed with this hotel the condition of the hotel looks like it was most built maybe a few years back, it was clean and the breakfast options were many which helps when you have a picky toddler. The room were clean and the shower was huge. Only draw back was the ice machine on the second floor was not working and there was no microwave in my room. Other than that a good stay.
