"Great value and terrific breakfast (many local people had me the breakfast was great and they did not lie!). It's clean and safe but the rooms are a little worn out. The shower head in my bathroom looked a little precarious but it worked for both hot and cold. The location is right downtown and there are lots of local shops and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit."
