The staff was great. The breakfast was what you expect from a $98 a night hotel. They had a workout room. The bed was not very comfortable though. All in all for the price i would stay there again.
Easy check-in and out. Staff very friendly. Rooms nice sized and clean.

My reception by the front desk clerk was simply nice! He was professional, attentive, and receptive. My room was clean and easily accessible. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful and the eating area was clean.
