Nice staff. Clean room and good amenities. Excellent hot breakfast buffet, many options. Tables with white tablecloths. Free outdoor parking on grounds - perfect for van I was driving. My room top floor end of hall, water pressure was a bit low but adequate. Older building so could hear odd plumbing noises from other rooms. Overall great value - likely stay there again.

Very simple and clean but off the beaten track. No restaurant on site. Maybe 20 minutes walk. I took an uber because it was raining…downtown restaurant..$12 ride. The free breakfast buffet is high level. But only open for breakfast.
