The staff was great when checking in. Parking was easy, right in front of our room. The room was clean and very nice. The cost of the room was very inexpensive. The location of the hotel was a short walk to town. They had a great coffee /cappuccino machine that allows you to pick custom coffee drinks and it was free. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean room. What we expected. No frills, good location.
Rooms are great for the price , bed was very comfortable, clean rooms as well . The only downside is the parking , spaces are very small and seems like there’s not enough parking for the amount of rooms.
