Parking is a breeze in the attached garage. Check-in was easy (as was check-out). Everything in the room worked well. The decor/furnishings are dated, but then the price is very reasonable. I would stay here again.

Very clean room, very clean area at the front desk. This hotel is pretty old, but they are remodeling it. Which is why there is some items that can be improved. The room we were in was HUGE. Once they remodel this will be 5 star rating across the board! I will 100% be staying there again.
