The staff was very nice and friendly. The only negatives were the lack of an elevator and the dirty carpets in the hallway, but breakfast was good. The hotel is near a shopping center, stores, and restaurants.

The hotel is on main street near shopping and restaurants. We parked our car and walked everywhere. The breakfast is really nothing to write home about. However, there are breakfast restaurants close by. The rooms are dated but since the location is great, we didn't really mind. The biggest drawback is there is no elevator. Would stay here again for confience sake.
