Convenient, affordable property..We had a Keurig, mini fridge, microwave, and hair dryer. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would have rated area a 5, but the location has traffic noise. It wasn't a huge deal (we uaed a noise maker at night), but being TC there is a lot of traffic. Highly recommend staying here.

Enjoyed our stay. It was quiet, clean & the staff was very friendly. This is a older hotel but it is very nice. If you are looking for something fancy this is not for you. If you want a nice place to sleep this is a perfect place. I would stay here again.

What's More Than Disappointed
Somethings are best described as "dated", but this was outdated. Not worth the money. Please don't be fooled by other people's opinions, this place is not comfortable; not cute; not worth the price; and definitely not worth your time.
