Front office staff (at night) were very nice. The room was clean, however there were cigarette burns/stains on the toilet seat. The shower curtain was very dirty. We booked a king room but was given a queen. We were so tired from driving it was not worth changing rooms. Gated parking was a plus.

room was so small and cramped for space my spouse did not have room for her walker. We had to leave, take a room elsewhere and forfeit our deposit as manager refused to give a refund. This despite the fact we could not use the room and didn't use it at all. Just looked at it. Worst experience of our trip.

For a low price and quick 1 night stay, it was nice and did the job. Room was clean, only minor things good use improvement like the facets from the sink and the door lock. The bedding could be better with a comforter or more blankets.
