Found this hotel a couple years back when an event I attended was scheduled there, and have stayed there a handful of times since then. You really can't beat the room price, nothing fancy but clean and quiet with a pleasant atmosphere. Nice for a staycation.The only negative is that they started charging $24 per night for parking, which seems like lot.
