"This was a great location for several of our day excursions. Breakfast was included which always makes the day easier. Enjoyed dinner downstairs in the "food court". Has a sort of hostel feel by the food court which I loved. Lots of couches to relax on, good music. Hotel room itself was small and simple, but clean and up to date. Had a nice bench where we could both open our suitcases. Also located right next to a Bonus grocery. Would definitely stay here again!"
