Clean, small hotel with ample parking when we were there. Room was comfortable (bed, sink, toilet, shower, desk with bench). No refrigerator or coffee maker in room and limited snacks for purchase in lobby. Common refrigerator in lobby for guests to use. Mattress was too soft for us and one pillow per person (we prefer more). Good location close to downtown.
