Please be aware of how they do not automatically give you new towels every day or clean your room every day. If you ask for new towels they will come to your room with them within 10 minutes. They clean the rooms every third day.

Clean budget hotel great location

Good value for the money location was great for attending downtown events. Room was clean and staff were very friendly. Wi-Fi was an issue but we were warned when we checked in that it wasn't very dependable. Breakfast consisted of a muffin juice and yogurt to go. I would stay there again
