"This hotel is simple, clean and perfect for a short trip to the area. I was in town for a business meeting and stayed for two nights. It’s inexpensive and has all the basics. The WiFi isn’t quite strong enough to have a zoom meeting in your room but you can get some emails sent and a little work done. I’ll definitely stay here again. It’s just helpful to know limitations and know what to expect."
