Great stay!
Very clean and organized hotel. My room was very quiet, neat and the staff were very hospitable. They do service breakfast which was fresh and good each morning of my stay. This hotel does have a $100 deposit which is refundable. There is a a very small gym on site and laundry facilities as well.

Property was nice and clean. Just be aware this hotel puts a hold on your credit card for the amount of your room, then when you check in charges you again plus a deposit and the holds don’t get released for 2-3 business days. So you get charged over double the amount of the room for 2-3 days. Terrible business practice.
