The hotel itself was very good considering the low price we paid. Amenities were in great condition, no defects. The areas around the hotel were all at a walkable distance which was great because we didn’t have to use our car much. Only downside was the bedding was uncomfortable and scratchy, would recommend bringing your own blankets.

Clean and good location 👍

No frills but great location and nice and clean. Maybe they could throw out a towel or two but otherwise if clean and location are what you are looking for and price is to your liking take it.
