"Based on other reviews, I was concerned about the cleanliness of the place. It turned out I had nothing to worry about as our room #263 was fine. I had asked for a room on the 2nd floor away from the traffic and the front desk kindly complied. The only issue was I had wanted a print out of my receipt and I was told that I would have to get it from Hotels.com which was annoying (they eventually gave it to me). Breakfast was in another building and the food was alright (typical breakfast fare along with hot eggs and sausage). The hotel is right off the main road and within walking distance to Sarah’s Ice Cream stand and a plaza. The free trolley into town is right next store. Overall, the hotel fit my needs."
