Close to the college, next to a Mexican restaurant with great margaritas, walking distance to the downtown area. Just fine, no complaints.
Hotel staff was pleasant enough upon check-in. Lobby smells like fresh paint..they are apparently renovating. Parking was an issue for us because we had a large truck and flatbed trailer. We ended up parking in a lot next door by the Mexican restaurant and Salvation Army.
Our room was small but clean. It was right on the side facing the...

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Good location with updated rooms. Hotel was undergoing renovations, but nothing disturbed my stay. Staff very helpful in helping me retrieve an item left behind in my room after check out. Highly recommended and a great value!
Newly updated. Our rooms were fresh and clean. Staff was friendly. Breakfast basic. Loved the price!
We just stayed here last weekend. Checked in rather late and got attitude from the lady at the desk. The double room was small and smelled like sewage had backed up. The beds were smaller than our full bed at home. Really unpleasant.

Everything in the room worked, microwave, fridge, bed wasn't uncomfortable. Desk didn't have any unused power outlets so I had to unplug things to use computer and phone...

I called this facility at approxiamtely 16:00 on Friday June 3rd to cancel a one night reservation for June 11th. I took the employee at their word that the reservation was cancelled. I asked for a name and wrote it down. On Monday June 13th, this hotel fraudently charged my credit card. When I called to request a refund, I...
