The hotel was perfect for our needs at a reasonable price. Great location and parking next door. The staff was exceptionally helpful and very welcoming. The room is small but super efficient, clean, and a comfortable king bed. I loved the tablet that controls everything in the room. It was fun to use. I would highly recommend this hotel.
