yes but the room was tiny and if you stay on the first floor the lights from cars pulling in flashes into your room, it is like a motel style set up. The internet kept going out. Friendly staff, clean, overpriced.

I had higher expectations for this hotel given its reputation, but the stay fell short in a few areas. Parking was advertised as free on Expedia, yet we were charged $10 per night, which should be updated in the listing. Breakfast was advertised as a buffet, but the selection was very limited with short hours, ending at 9am even on the weekend. However, the rooms were nice and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, so after all yes I would stay here again.
