Excellent Value and Comfort

super clean roommodern bathroomtraffic noise
The room was super clean. It included everything I needed. The bathroom was modern. It was also very clean and featured a great shower. Breakfast was very well presented with plenty of choice (especially the scrambled eggs). Access to the town was really easy.
The traffic noise was noticeable. Since there was no air-conditioning, I had to open the windows. The traffic lights right outside caused cars and trucks to accelerate all night.

On-site parking added convenience. It was easy to come and go as I pleased. The hotel's proximity to the town center made it convenient for exploring local attractions. The bus stop just outside the hotel was a definite plus.

I found the service to be friendly. Everything throughout was very clean. There was PLENTY of parking space in front and behind the building. Breakfast was fairly basic but nice enough.
I found no toiletries. There was no toiletries holder to put toiletries on. The screws were there from a previous holder. The room did not look like the ones online. It looked tired.
