Quiet Stay
Had a quiet stay at this hotel. The person checking us in was awesome, with helpful hints on our stay. Rooms were clean, if not a bit dated. Still, it was a comfortable stay.

Very comfortable, would stay again.
The room was vey clean and the bed was also very comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful when asked. The only reason I didn't give the hotel room 5 starts was for two reasons and the cleaning staff may have already put in work orders. I was not able to slide the front mirrored closet door it was stuck, the back one worked fine so still a functioning closet. The toilet paper holder is the type that holds two rolls one on each side. The issue was that it was not secured properly to the wall so when in use the roll would fall off and hit the floor. I would still stay at this hotel again.
