Parking ramp available, very clean rooms, could use newer bedspreads (ours was ripped), and no counter space to put items in the bathroom or bedroom. The staff is very sweet but only cold prepackaged food for breakfast. There are some local breakfast places down the street but the local restaurants close by are not open on Sundays. Would stay there again for sure!
