Good value stay

Good value. Comfortable stay. The shower did show some signs of mildew and the shower head needed replacing. I was woken up by one of the adjacent occupants being woken up at 4.45 in the morning.

For its value, it’s great and only 10 mins drive to downtown. The staff was great but the only reason I did not give this hotel a five star is because our sofa bed was not prepared for us before we arrived. The host said the bed should have been pulled out, sheets and blankets made. We have to go to the lobby to ask for blankets and pillows. We booked for two adults and two children.
