The room is clean, beds and pillows are comfortable. All you need for a night or five without spending a fortune on the city. We were only there for a night but would gladly spend more here if needed. The included breakfast was very good as a bonus!

This hotel was generally a good value for the cost. However, I am an elderly woman and was assigned a room on the second floor. The property has no elevator so I was obliged to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs to get to my room.
