Just a few blocks from downtown, and while it's a motel, it's clean, retro decor, and it has some of the most friendly and helpful staff. For the price and the location, it cannot be beat

The retro look was a very nice touch. Restaurants and a bar in and around the surrounding the property made it so you didn’t have to leave the property. Pool was nice but smallish, especially when outside folks can utilize the pool. Coffee bar in the lobby was also a great amenity!
