Check in process was painfully slow and breakfast was very basic, and the property dated, but the room was large and the bed comfortable. For a one night stop over, it’s fine.

Was hot, had to rush to check in from an event as there is no night staff. Woke up Sunday morning to fire alarm that never shut off even after I left- tried to get breakfast and front desk lady yelled not now ladies! Because she was frazzled with alarm. Hard beds. I dunno, price was right and location, but not a great stay
