The room was clean, well stocked, spacious and it had a mini kitchen to boot. The staff was very friendly. We were able to check in early and that was a plus especially after the drive. The hotel is right in the heart of everything, stores, restaurants etc., all within walking distance.

The hotel is decent, but the beds are way too soft. The rooms need to be aired out cause of a muggy stale smell in them. They have no ice buckets, to get ice, so if you need to get ice, you have to bring a tray from your own fridge in the room.
