Everything was good. I didn't like that the lobby and hallways smelled strongly of something artificial -- either cleaning solutions or something to mask smells. I liked that the bedrooms have hard flooring rather than carpet, which in hotels is often pretty gross. Good coffee.

Very small basic room. Nice and well kept. Just a very basic room. For example hooks on the wall rather than a closet. Shower was very nice. Regular, run of the mill hotel breakfast. Great for a quick stop, but would not want to stay more than a night.

On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming ladies. The lobby is spacious and bright. Our room was small, but functional and the bed was clean and comfortable. Although the bathroom was clean the edges and seals around the shower were a little moldy and in need of a good cleaning. The walls near and below the desk had some stains. Gave us the impression that the daily cleaning needed to be more thorough.
