We will definitely be back. Mel is amazing. So incredibly helpful. I do wish the bedding was more fluffy but other than that, we were very pleased with our stay.

This location and accommodation is very convenient to the campus and visiting our daughter. The only improvement would be to get larger bath towels, since they are quite small.

Wonderful stay

Mel was wonderful and so very pleasant. The room was in great shape. The place is being updated and that is the reason for the rating of 3 in one specific area. But everything was excellent.

This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.

We were disappointed the pool wasn't open but as it turned out, we didn’t have time anyways. The staff was so friendly and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great for a one nights stay.
