Great little home away from home for a few days

Excellent parking, room, and breakfast. Close/centralized to everything we needed. Construction with detours to get there was a little annoying, but it wasn't the hotel's fault.

I would definitely stay again.

The hotel was clean, the front desk assistant was very polite and helpful. I wish I could remember his name to thank him properly he helped myself and mother to our room. I had my infant son in hand he hopped in effortlessly to assistance. Along with a kind warm welcome.
