Great location. Check in was easy with some options to use discounts on local restaurants. They give you $20 to spend but you have to use it the day of check in (fine print) or else it's not honored. Rooms are nice-smaller side but clean and efficient.

Over all a nice place to stay. Very convenient location in the town center. A few things that were annoying was the bedside lights were either on or off. no dimming and no ability to put one on and not the other. May sound like a small thing but my husband likes to stay up later than me and I had to go to sleep with all the lights on. There was also minimal bathroom amenities. no Lotion etc. For the price of the room I would have expected more. But over all it was all good..
