The hotel worked for what we needed. While the parking was convenient and the room was clean, the location of the room was quite different on the second floor.

Decent Hotel for the Money

The hotel is clean and conveniently located. Its downfall is the horrible window air conditioner/heaters!! They are so noisy and you cannot control the strength of output. It’s all or nothing.
