Everything was average about the room except the mattresses and pillows. They were very lumpy and hard,the pillows were the same. The staff was great,very convenient area to stay at but,will never stay again because of the bed and linens.

Good enough!

Listen, this isn't gonna be the fanciest hotel you ever stay at...but if you need a fairly cheap hotel for a quick stay, this one is just fine. Staff was friendly enough, it was clean enough, and felt safe enough. Breakfast was decent as well!
