Great hotel right in the middle of town. Great "full" breakfast buffet and tasty. Conveniently located near shopping, dining and even a Super Market 2 blocks away. Had a nice fridge with freezer section that we kept supplies for our daily trips. This is a nice hotel for the price point. Clean indoor pool and large jacuzzi. Kind of noisy at night with the traffic.
