It was fine for the price and location. Good value if all you need is a no frills hotel room, and much better since the re-model. Clean room and staff was friendly and courteous. Easy walk to Buffalo Wild Wings and Fujiyama Japanese Steak House and a few others. Would stay there again.

Our room was clean and pleasant, our stay was fantastic for as short notice as we had to get this room. The staff also helped me print something out that I needed for an event I was in town for, as I'd printed too small and they were so gracious to assist. Thank you all again for our stay, we'll see you next time we are in town to visit family.
