Perfect location and wonderful staff

Staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment the door opened. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in and they were kind enough to give us our parking sticker so that we could walk and enjoy town for a few hours. The rooms were clean and appeared to be recently updated. We were there during the week, so it was pretty quiet. Yes, there is construction next door, but hey, that’s life. My teens loved the pool - they keep it at a constant 72 and is in a covered building outside which was nice. Much Better than those places that have indoor pools that is loud and echoes with every sound.

I loved that it was close to everything and the indoor pool was amazing (my son loved it). However at midnight we had someone almost walk into our room, there was an error with the paperwork. We did get a $25 gift card for the misunderstanding. Besides that we enjoyed where we stayed!

Stayed only one night, this property is short walk to the downtown area and restaurants. Overpriced for what I consider a motel.
