"My stay was a bit chaotic because of renovations happening but honestly this place beat my expectations. You get what you pay for with a cheap place, but the room was immaculate. The cleaning staff really cares about their job and honestly deserve a raise. The staff at the hotel was so nice and helpful. The breakfast was lacking but IHOP was practically next door so I wasn't too worried about that. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and look forward to seeing the renovations once completed."
