The front desk staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming! They made sure we had a room as close as possible to the free parking. We enjoyed our first night there so much that we stayed again on our return trip! The heating/AC unit was a little noisy, but it worked well. The refrigerator even had a small freezer area where we were able to keep a frozen pie! The Western Town theme is SO charming!

AC was fine, as was everything else in the room. The exterior looks like a movie set from the old west. A central voncrete patio with nice chairsxand tables was tastefully done. Breakfast was a discountvat a nice nearby restaurant. Better than the usual in hotel free breakfasts.

This place is an absolute gem. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are completely clean and comfortable. Anything you need they are there for you. They give you vouchers for breakfast at a nice restaurant down the road which a plate only costs you $5.00. Everything about here was just lovely. We originally booked for just 1 night and after we got there and met the staff and saw the area and the rooms we booked 2 additional nights. Would 100% recommend to anyone!!
