Solid Budget Choice

kind folksexcellent valueprivate roomgood location
The front desk folks are really kind and knowledgeable. I appreciated how friendly they were. The location is pretty good and easy to reach, so that help a lot. The value for money is excellent for this hotel. A private lockable room is a strong benefit.
The remote control for the television did not work. I also notice the wall lights did not work neither.
