This place is clean and everything worked as it should. It’s not fancy, but it is inexpensive and serviceable. Just right for what I needed.

The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. The desk was a nice feature.
Since we were a couple, we missed one conditioning shampoo. The pillows were a little lumpy, but it was in our price range and it was adequate for our needs for an overnight stay.
