An amazing hotel!

We had a lovely two night stay, Rudy on the front desk was fantastic, helpful, and informative, the room was a little dated but in excellent condition complete with fridge, coffee, microwave and plenty of space. The breakfast they served was really nice and their amenities including their happy hour was great. Would stay again!

Great place to stay!

This is a great value for the area. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we loved the happy hour. I didn't necessarily realize that our room would be across the street, but it wasn't too far, and everything else was very comfy!
