Good, quiet, affordable

This hotel was quiet, clean , off in the cut , but by convenient stores and restaurants. Lobby space and additional tables with cozy chairs were a good space to go down and get some business done. I even saw a group down there playing cards. The breakfast had good options. They also have a modern coffee machine where you can get coffee and tea 24/7
