The parking was initially confusing, but then we found out about the nice parking garage next to it. It would have been nice to have more breakfast options and a refrigerator in the room, but those things aren't necessary. We used ice and a cooler to keep things cold. We thought the rooms were great.

Better than a chain hotel

Great location with alot of neat small town businesses nearby. I was in the area from out of state for work and needed to park a 26 foot box truck and street parking wasn't too inconvenient. Nice room - very hotel like. No refrigerator in the room which was a small bummer overall pretty happy with everything else

No hot water. No response

Hotel itself was nice and updated. However we were there for a 2 night stay and had no hot water the entire time. Sent a few messages and got no response so the lack of hot water is what prompts the negative review. Had we been able to have a hot shower this would be a 5 star review. Paid to much for 2 nights to have a cold shower and no response to messages about the situation

Quick overnight stay

Check in was a little clumsy, but our guy was working his first shift alone, so we cut him slack. The building is phenomenal.

Room is small. But a/c didn't seem to work. Was humid in room. My son found a can of dip/chew/ under the bed. So obviously not clean. Hard to get a hold of hotel staff and no refrigerator. Good location though. Bed comfortable
