The Ashley Hotel
The room was clean and comfortable. We only stayed for 1 night and only need a good night sleep as we been doing a road trip. Did not use the bar or restaurant. A good night sleep and rest that’s all we need which we achieved. Parking was easy.

The staff were super friendly and professional. The only downsides to our stay was the absence of air conditioning in the room. ...
