Perfect for our 2 night stay.

Hotel is in a safe area with 2 other hotels. Quick drive to downtown. Seems older, but mainly renovated. An odd amount of rusting since it is not near the ocean. (Bring your own hair dryer.) There was always fresh coffee available. Hotel does not have breakfast. The front office staff was helpful.
