Clean, comfortable and friendly employees. What more could you ask for? It's not the 5-star Ritz, and that is OK, we weren't expecting it to be. For the price we paid the hotel was more than satisfactory. A great choice for any weary traveler looking for accommodations overnight. Oh, and the air conditioner worked amazing!
