This is a great location. The staff did a great job! This is an older-very old hotel. So it is outdated, but it met the needs of a clean hotel for the night. The mini mart and liquer store (if you need something) is walking distance. The restraunt served good food. If you are looking for simple-clean-budget-this is it. Not new, not fancy. But i slept great. Worth what i paid.
