Surprisingly good
The hotel was surprisingly clean and comfortable. The road work right by the hotel made it a little difficult to enter and exit but not too bad.

Nothing stood out, which is actually a good thing. Staff both at check-in and check-out were super friendly.
The hotel was clean. Wasnt a luxury hotel but is great for 1 or 2 night stay. Breakfast was ok. Small gym no pool.

Outstanding service, very clean (daily cleaning service), excellent breakfasts and a great price. The only downside is there is very little within walking distance.
