"Picked up a room here at the last minute after a weeklong trip. Perfect location for an early morning flight because the airport is 6 minutes away. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Larger bathroom and excellent shower. The two highlights were speaking to the friendly front desk manager, Michael, and eating at the restaurant attached to the hotel. We don't do hotel restaurants very often, but Michael recommended it and we enjoyed the lively atmosphere that seemed to mix locals with guests. It was a good experience all around."

"This was a good place to stay for a night. The bed was comfortable and very clean. Our room was clean and well stocked with fresh towels. It is a little dated but great for the price. The restaurant thatโ€™s in the same building was ok. We had drinks and the city water made them taste terrible. Highly recommend bottled beer or something out of a can."
