The rooms were clean and modern. The shower was fantastic, with a waterfall function and multiple jets. The staff were kind and helpful and the location is right in the middle of everything and super convenient. Highly recommend.

It was a very clean place. Just under construction. And not much parking. But you could park you vehicle and walk around town with no problems!
Great location!!! The bed and pillows were wonderful as was the shower!! The room we stayed in had a nice little kitchen with a full refrigerator , stovetop, sink , dishwasher , keurig with coffee and a microwave. They are doing some renovations but that won’t affect the quality of your visit
This place is a hidden gem and will only get better with the lobby remodel. The rooms are newly remodeled with amazing showers and comfortable beds. Staff is super great and you can walk to everything. Best location is m town.
Our room was very clean and looked to be recently updated. We were able to park directly in front of our door which was very convenient, especially since we were there on the 4th of July weekend. Staff was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. Great location - we literally could walk to everything we needed during our stay...we would stay again!
Very nice rooms. Newly re-done. Very nice bed and linens. There was a kuerig coffeemaker with excellent dark roast coffee!!! Never see that. Great room for a reasonable price. Would stay there again.
