Great place for the price.
The hotel is dated but clean and the staff is super nice. There is coffee in the room and breakfast is included and it’s a nice spread. Parking spots are a little tight but it’s free with your stay. The water pressure is decent as well. I just wish the pillows were softer or more variety in softness.

Overall good.
The customer service was great, check in was fast, room was clean but the AC made a lot of noise like if it needed maintenance or something, the bathroom was clean but a little dirty like dusty. overall very clean and nice staff. Complimentary breakfast was good as well.

The hotel was good lots of room. The breakfast was great. The pool needs repair and when we went down to the pool there was loud music blaring, a dog and drunk people down there making food using a mask shift stove. Not very family friendly.
