State archery stay
Stayed for state archery tournament. Hotel was clean, service was great, and hotel is located near downtown area with shuttle service to and from anything within a 3 mi radius. Mike, our shuttle driver was fantastic and full of information. Definitely would stay again. Only marked 4 stars in comfort because our heat did not work well in our room but everything else was great.

Nice place
The room was nice, nothing fancy or elaborate but comfortable. The only complaint I have is the parking in the below ground area is a little tight to navigate with a large vehicle like a SUV or pick up truck but manageable. The staff is very friendly every time i have stayed here.
