We did enjoy the room but it was a bit outdated compared to the online pictures. Parking was ok as it is gated from the surrounding area which isn't the best. It's right off the Interstate too so traffic can be a bit loud at times. Staff was welcoming.

It was a pleasant surprise that the pool is covered and could be used in the spring. Staff were very accommodating. Walking distance to the plaza and many bars/restaurants. Free parking is a bonus. Hotel feels a bit dated, though it’s very clean. Location close to I-40 means rooms can get noisy. Overall, a great budget-ish option.
