What People Say

Guests love the convenient location and affordable rates. Many reviews highlight the clean rooms, friendly staff, and how easy it is to walk to local attractions. The free breakfast and seasonal outdoor pool are also popular perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the property is a bit older and could use a refresh in spots — think dated decor or occasional maintenance snags. Rooms facing the street can experience minor traffic noise, but earplugs or a white noise app usually do the trick.
