Location is very convenient close to everything. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the beds were less comfortable my mattress was really worn out. Breakfast was decent except that some of the fruits didn’t look fresh ( dark bananas and found some mold in some oranges). The price I paid for one night I expected better room amenities like a coffee machine. But the room was very clean! Unfortunately it was a little let down from my expectations but it did help that the location was great, walking distance to every where I needed to go. Thank you!

Parking is difficult. Tight for trucks, especially if they put you back next to the chain link fence for the construction next door that shares parking lot.

I like that the property was close enough to walk to everything but it was just outside of the middle of town so it was much quieter at night. Our room was beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful

Great!

The room was clean and modern. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. Parking was easy and free. Front staff was kind. Free breakfast was really cool, they have jimmy dean biscuits that you can microwave. I thought that was clever and a great idea to still offer a warm breakfast.
