The hotel was clean , quiet, had a 75 inch tv in the room with full direct tv. The hotel was right on main st. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Next time I get up this way I would definitely stay here. It was $70 less than the best western that was less than a 1/4 mile away. Awesome hotel!!!

Rooms are clean and quiet, if you are looking for the Ritz, this is not it. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Bandara for a reasonable price, this is your place. I have stayed several times and have had great experiences all of those times.

Parking was easy. Rooms could use some updating like drywall work in some places. Room has fridge and microwave which is a plus. The bed was comfortable. The room had the biggest TV I have ever seen in a hotel and I stay at a lot of them. Had to be an 80 inch which was crazy but pretty cool. Water pressure was a little low but water was hot so I cant complain. All in all, for the price, I think it was a pretty good room for a night or two.
