Liked: Staff & service
The staff were friendly. The tv didn't work well (the picture was less thana quarter the sizeof the screen) and the bath towels were terrible - stained, small and very old. The shower had calcium build up so the water flow was somewhat blocked. The guests above us stomped about afyer midnight, but that's not the fault of the hotel.

Fine for a stop

Great for a stop. Our only concern was with the noise from the parking lot, construction workers leaving early and letting their trucks run for 30 minutes. Friendly staff.
