Our room was right next to the ice machine, it sounded like it was inside the room, it dropped fresh ice continually. No dining on site, the next door place was great for breakfast but closed in the afternoon.

If you want a low cost place to stay this is a good place. There’s no frills. There’s a bed, bathroom, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and a TV. The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
