We had a wonderful stay here! The room was very comfortable, and everything went smoothly with no issues at all. The staff were kind, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. My boyfriend and I loved our experience and are already planning to come back and book the same place again.

The 2 room suite with kitchen was a good size and met needs for our stay. But the place is pretty grimy. The couch was very dirty, no one wanted to sit on it. And the bathroom towels were stained. All furniture and decor is outdated and not in the best shape, badly needs a remodel. The hotel staff was very kind and courteous.
