"Location was right downtown. Easy access to highway and activities. The accommodations were not fancy, but adequate for my needs. Has a full kitchen. There was a coffee maker, but there were no coffee cups. There is a large closet, but no dresser for your personal items. The bed room is small, only enough room for the bed and night stand.
