Great location, The room was clean, but small. The shower was the size of a broom closet. Stay at this hotel for the location — next to downtown. But don’t expect any amenities and the rooms are cramped.

No attendant when we checked out. Please note that the doorknob to the bathroom for our room(201) was falling off. I hand tightened. Need either shades or bigger curtain in the window. Due to front door below our room, was slammed many times and during sleeping hours. We love the close proximity of the conviences, everything was in walking distance! We would stay here again! Loved your breakfast and loved This Way Cafe!!! Hope to see you again!!!
