It seemed fine to me...

I'm pretty basic when it comes to a hotel as I never plan on spending my entire vacation IN the hotel room. All I need is a bed to sleep in and I'm happy. My friend and I recently stayed here at the end of May. We got this hotel because it was affordable, in a nice location and the only bad reviews we had seen we thought were rather dull.

The perks:

It's affordable.

It's in a nice area.

It's right off a main road so it's easy to find.

The things we read in reviews:

Continental Breakfast - A number of people have complained about how "basic" their breakfast is. How it's nothing more than bagels and cream cheese, donuts, muffins, dry cereal, coffee, tea, water, and juice. Well HELLO... that's what a continental breakfast is!

Typically a continental breakfast is - A light breakfast that usually consists of a breadstuff (such as toast, croissants, pastries, etc.) and coffee, tea or other liquid. The continental breakfast is the antithesis of the hearty English breakfast. READ: The OPPOSITE of a hearty English breakfast.

If you're expecting a big breakfast for free you'll want to find another hotel or go out and eat breakfast. But if you're just looking for the basics and something free, the continental breakfast serves for this purpose.

Scary Location - I don't know about this one. We didn't have any problems while we were there. I would say the worst part about this hotel is the garage. It's free underground parking and it's a bit dark. I would just not suggest going down there alone. Besides the parking, we found nothing scary about this place.

and finally -

Loud/Noise - Again, no idea about this one. We kept commenting on how ridiculously quiet it was there.

All in all the hotel is decent. I wouldn't give it 5 stars just because I don't give 5 stars often... but I would recommend it for people who aren't planning on living in their hotel while they are on vacation.

• Pros: convenient, nice location, affordable
• Cons: Parking garage

A lodging staple with just the basics for budget-minded road-trippers and business travelers.
