The location was easy to access and quiet. The hotel was clean, offered free parking and breakfast. What we really enjoyed was the layout of the hotel room. The sitting area was spacious, there were TV's in both areas and a coffee area with both a microwave and refrigerator. We will stay here again!

The location is great
My husband and I stayed at this hotel to attend an event at the Civic Auditorium and also celebrate our anniversary. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a great view from the top floor balcony. The breakfast could be better but at least it was complimentary. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet location and just a short drive to everything we wanted to see. I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area.
