Practically all the hotels in this area are 2 star facilities. Relax Inn was clean, no issues with the beds, slept well. The bathroom was clean and had ample towels. I didn't use the mini fridge or microwave and coffee pot. It was an easy check in & out. No major issues.

Not for us.

If you are not fussy about room to move around in and just a bed…it would be ok. Bathroom was completely unacceptable! Surprisingly quiet at night being right on a busy corner. We stayed 1 night, cancelled for our return trip.
