Guest Feedback
“We came to town for a concert and picked this hotel for its affordability and location. The rooms were spotlessly clean and look recently updated. The beds are soft and you sink in a bit when you lay down. My favorite feature is the windows open on the first floor.”

“We came here on a sister trip and tried finding a place last minute! Very impressed with the service. I called a few days before the trip asking if our stay can be extended by one day and the receptionist did everything he could to make sure we can do that!”
