"We had a great calming stay. Breakfast was good too. They had gluten free and some dairy free options if you asked. The hotel itself is next to a construction site but it was pretty quiet. It’s also right off the main shopping street, so it’s a very walkable area."

"Great place to crash out! Rooms could use a deep clean and some new (thicker) sheets and pillow cases would help and just overall could use a deep clean at least the room I was in. Like the light switches are kinda dirty and just looks like the staff cleaned so fast that they didn't really clean.,.. But Im a clean person... maybe most people just don't care or take cleanliness for granted... Other than that was a good sleep."
