Is it the cleanest or most up to date? No. But is it a cheap, decent option for a short vacation? Absolutely. My one and only actual complaint is the bright lights in the parking lot and the lack of blackout curtains. Each time we stay here (stayed with family and then a friend) everyone wakes up at all hours of the night thinking itā€™s morning time because the light shines in so much.

This is a no frills hotel, but it was clean and well apportioned. The shower was excellent. They also had a nice fire circle where we met a number of other Travellers.

Older Updated Hotel Convenient to Downtown
Older updated hotel, convenient to all things so we could walk and not have to drive in terrible traffic. Our remote to tv was missing the back and a battery so we manually changed channels the whole time. We made them aware on first night but told them not to worry about it that night and assumed they would fix the next day, but it never happened. We didnt use it much anyway, just kept it on same channel most of the time. Floor was pretty dirty! Grandsons white socks were black after only a few hours. For convenience of location and price, we would definitely stay again.

This place is good enough for what we do. We don't spend much time in the room, mostly to sleep, gone the whole day, come back shower, go to bed. Its older, they have done a decent job trying to update it. Shower was awful with no pressure. No breakfast, but knew that coming in. Again, it was cheap and meet our needs.
