Parking lot is extremely small, other guests were taking up 2 spots making it harder to park. The free breakfast isn’t available long enough, was told they were serving anymore and seen a few other guests walk out with plates. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was a bit small but not bad for a 1 night stay.

Tried this property looking for a cheap room while in town. Bed was uncomfortable, hot water wasn’t working in the shower, and mandatory checkout by 11am even though I was the only guest. Will look somewhere else next time I’m in town
