Room was clean. Great bed and bathroom. All we needed for a one night stay.

Reasonable stay downtown.

6 / 10Average·Mar 2026

Convenient location and parking is easy. They offer things like bikes and have a nice deck. The AC was a little tricky to figure out and the lock on our door was difficult to open with the key. Very bare bones and very little in terms of other amenities. Perhaps one of the best amenities is its location across the way from the Marriott which has a nice lobby, bar, and restaurant inside. I would say average to below average but the price was good.
