This is a good budget hotel for a quick one night overnight stay. It is safe and provides secure parking. The rooms are very small and the bathrooms were questionable - the shower did not want to drain. The staff were wonderful though.

The place is clean and neat, bed is not so comfortable. The manager or supervisor needs to control noise from other people staying here from 8pm to 00:00 it was like they are having a party you could hear them making noise on the passege and from their rooms as well. They should monitor what is brought in alcohol should not be allowed.
