8/10 Good
"It’s a slightly older hotel that has been upgraded. The beds were great, linens clean, restaurant more than adequate for breakfast & great location! Everything we needed was accessible to the property. Drawbacks - the parking is so tight all you see are scrape marks on the walls! It took several attempts to park & I drove busses for a living at one point. Top of my class for my CDL. Parking was one of my best attributes, even in tight spaces or backing into it! Nice staff & friendly atmosphere. Would consider staying there again."
