Nice hotel

It’s an older building but it was clean. Hallway and outside area was well lit. Desk clerk was efficient and helpful. The free breakfast was good and gave us a good start to the day as we continued with our travels. Breakfast area was well stocked and clean.

This hotel is fine for a quick overnight for the budget minded traveler. Overall the property seemed quite run-down particularly the outside. The room seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very minimal with very few items. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Dated but sufficient.

Exterior of hotel was in very poor condition. No security on exterior doors with locks removed or taped over. Interior appeared very clean but dated. Staff was very friendly and welcoming!
