The desk staff and breakfast attendent were so hospitable and helpful. The breakfast itself was well above a standard chain breakfast, that was worth the price of the room alone! The room itself is dated, but passable for a night. Will be back!
We frequently stay at this hotel and have been very happy with our accommodations. Staff is helpful and friendly, and the rooms are clean. This is an older hotel that they are trying to upgrade but for now it is comfortable and affordable with a great breakfast as a bonus.
Check in and front desk was excellent. Breakfast was really good. Hallways and stairs had a lingering smell

The property is a little rundown, but the staff was very nice and it is certainly clean and very well located
Quiet and comfortable no-frills hotel. Very quiet despite being on a main thoroughfare. Breakfast was excellent: lots of choices including cereals, waffles, fruit, yoghurt. Staff was courteous and eager to help.
The staff was excellent, very kind and went above and beyond. The staff working on Thursday and Friday a couple of days ago, one man lent me his personal charger, one gave me a toothbrush and a plastic bag for my dirty clothes, and another lady gave me toothpaste. The breakfast was incredible. Very tasty, extremely delicious, props to the cook! The had fruits, juices, bread, eggs, sausages, and more!! Reminded me of the food from Best Western, which is one of my favorites! Rooms were clean, and the price was affordable!
